Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water with sugar, mixing until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, knead in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until evenly mixed.
- Shape the dough into a loaf, place it in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the loaf with melted butter. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
