Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the yeast mixture by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and Italian seasoning. Create a well in the center.
  3. Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the well; stir until combined. Knead dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough gently and shape it into a rectangle about 12×6 inches.
  6. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, and additional seasoning; press gently.
  7. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  9. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
