Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and Italian seasoning.
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water, then add it to the dry ingredients.
  • Knead the mixture until a soft dough forms. Incorporate cheese as you knead.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into a loaf and place on a lined baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a rack before slicing.
