Italian Parmesan Bread




I love to bake bread! This is a fun bread to make, there is no trouble with shaping the dough, it just goes into the casserole dish. I got this recipe from a friend, it goes perfectly with any Italian meal! I've used grated Parmesan instead of the shredded, the bread is different, but still awesome! -Sarah

1 pkg. yeast
1 cup warm water (130 degrees)
3 cups flour
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg, beaten (room temperature)
2 T. sugar
2 t. salt

1/2 t. garlic salt
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. basil
1/2 t. oregano

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
melted butter

  • In a mixing bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 2 cups of flour, butter, egg, sugar, salt and seasonings.
  • Beat at low speed until mixed, increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes.
  • Stir in remaining flour and 1/3 cup of the cheese.
