Dough Ingredients
- ¾ cup warm whole milk Warm to about 110°F
- 2 ¼ teaspoons yeast Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 large eggs Room temperature
- 3 ½ – 4 cups all-purpose flour Plus more for rolling
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Cheese and Herb Filling
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup chopped Italian herbs Such as sage, oregano, basil, and thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
Making the Dough
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the milk, yeast, and honey. Let sit 5-10 minutes, until bubbly on top.
Add the eggs, 3 ½ cups flour, and salt. Using the dough hook, mix until the flour is completely incorporated, about 4-5 minutes.
If the dough is still sticky, add the additional ½ cup flour, adding more as needed until the dough is smooth to touch.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Filling and Shaping
In a bowl, combine the cheeses, herbs, and garlic.
Punch the dough down and roll out onto a lightly floured surface, creating a large rectangle about 12 x 18 inches.
Sprinkle the cheese mix evenly over the dough. Starting with the long edge closest to you, roll the dough into a log, keeping it tight as you go.
When you reach the edge, pinch along the edge to seal.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log of dough in half lengthwise, leaving a small portion at one end intact.
Turn the halves out to expose the filling. Cross the dough ropes over each other, repeating the twisting until you have a long, twisted dough.
Coil the dough into a circle. Carefully transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover and let sit 15 minutes.
