Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (for brushing)

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy. Add 1/4 cup melted butter, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, parsley, and rosemary with 1/2 cup melted butter. In another bowl, mix together the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
  4. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 2-inch squares.
  5. Brush each square with the herb butter mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Stack 5-6 squares together and place stacks on their sides in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Repeat until all dough is used.
  6. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  7. Brush the top with remaining herb butter and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
