Method

Making the Bread
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, the packet of instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
  2. Pour in the warm water and olive oil, stirring until the dough comes together.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes.
  4. Place your dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together your softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, rosemary, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Once your dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to a rectangle about 12 × 18 inches.
  7. Evenly spread the garlic herb butter mixture over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  8. Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
  9. Slice your log in half lengthwise to reveal the beautiful swirls, then twist the two halves together.
  10. Place your twisted bread on a greased baking sheet or a parchment-lined loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  11. While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  12. Pop the bread into the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes.
  13. Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
  14. Slice into your masterpiece and serve warm.
