- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- Fresh herbs (rosemary or parsley)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Mix in salt and olive oil before gradually stirring in flour until a soft dough forms.
- 2. Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth. Shape into a ball and place in an oiled bowl; cover with plastic wrap.
- 3. Let It Rise: Allow the dough to rise in a warm area for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- 4. Shape the Wreath: Punch down the dough, roll it into a rectangle, cut into strips, fill with cheese and herbs, then twist into spirals.
- 5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Form spirals into a wreath shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet; cover lightly.
- 6. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
