Description
Make a replica of the popular Subway Italian Herb and Cheese Bread at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning blend
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate large bowl, mix flour and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a long, flat loaf, about 10-12 inches long. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Mix the mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Brush the top of the dough lightly with water or olive oil. Sprinkle the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a softer crust, lightly brush the baked bread with melted butter immediately after removing it from the oven.
- You can use pre-shredded or freshly shredded mozzarella cheese.
