Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Herb Bread
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water with granulated sugar and instant dry yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Stir in salt, minced garlic, and dried herbs, mixing until well combined and fragrant.
  3. Gradually add all-purpose flour and grated parmesan cheese, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
  6. Once risen, punch down the dough, divide it into two pieces, and shape each into a ball on a greased baking sheet.
  7. Let the shaped loaves rise for another 15-20 minutes while the oven preheats to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Brush the tops of the loaves with melted unsalted butter, then bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
