  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)

  2. Add flour, cheeses, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
