Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water (110°F)
2 tsp active dry yeast
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Stir in olive oil, salt, minced garlic, and half of the flour. Mix until combined.
Gradually add remaining flour while kneading the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf on a floured surface.
Place the loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover again, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top before baking.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
