Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • baking sheet
  • plastic wrap
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

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
  • cup chopped Italian herbs Such as sage, oregano, basil, and thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated

Instructions
 

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.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
  • Slice and serve warm.
