Garlic Herb Cheese Bread

*Ingredients*

3/4 cup of warm milk

2 1/4 tsp yeast

2 TBSP honey

3 eggs

3 1/2 – 4 cups flour

1 tsp kosher salt

2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded/or cubed mozzarella

1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

1/3 cup chopped Italian FRESH herbs (sage, oregano, basil and thyme)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

*Instructions*

In mixing bowl, combine milk, yeast and honey
Let sit for 5 minutes or until top is bubbly

Add eggs, 3 1/2 cup flour and salt

Using a dough hook, mix until the flour is combined

Add additional flour if dough appears sticky
Dough should be smooth to the touch

Cover bowl and let sit at room temperature for an hour or until it has doubled in size

In separate bowl, combine all cheeses, fresh herbs and garlic

When dough has rested for 1 hour or has doubled in size, punch dough down and roll out onto a lightly flour surface to create a large rectangle about 12×18 in size

Sprinkle the cheese mix evenly over the entire surface of dough

Start with the long edge and roll dough tightly until you have formed a tight log

Use a sharp knife and cut the dough in half lengthwise

Turn the half out to expose filling and then cross the dough ropes over each other to create a twist
Coil the dough into a circle, transfer to parchment paper lined baking sheet

Cover and let rest for 15 minutes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown
