ITALIAN CHEESE BREAD

Active Time : 30 minutes
Total Time : 3 hours
Serves : 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
  • 1/2 cup warm water [115-120°F]
  • 1 0.25 ounce packet active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour divided
  • 3 tablespoons 100% pure olive oil divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Italian style six cheese blend
DIRECTIONS

In large mixing bowl, combine water and yeast; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon oil, salt and sugar. When dough comes together, turn out onto a floured work surface.

Knead, adding additional ½ cup flour as needed, until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl; turn dough to coat with oil. Cover and let rise 20 minutes.

Punch dough down; cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before shaping. Shape dough onto a 12-inch pizza pan.

Combine remaining oil, garlic and Italian seasoning; brush over dough. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in a preheated 450°F oven 10-12 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.
