Description

This Italian Herbs and Cheese Bread recipe is a delightful copycat of the popular Subway bread, featuring a perfect blend of Colby Jack and Parmesan cheeses combined with aromatic Italian seasoning and garlic powder. The bread is soft, flavorful, and ideal for making your own customized sandwiches at home.

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 3/4 cups flour

Topping Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 Tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: Warm the water slightly and add the instant yeast and sugar. Let the mixture bloom for a few minutes until it's foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt thoroughly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the yeast mixture and vegetable oil into the flour mixture.
  4. Knead the Dough: Stir all ingredients together well, then knead the dough for at least 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. First Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Divide and Shape: Punch down the dough, divide it into 4 equal portions, and shape each portion into a long roll. Cover and allow them to rise again until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking.
  8. Prepare Rolls for Baking: Brush each roll lightly with vegetable oil.
  9. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the rolls evenly with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and then top with shredded Colby Jack cheese.
  10. Bake: Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown on the outside.
  11. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and filling with your favorite sandwich ingredients.

Notes

  • Make sure the water is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Kneading the dough well is crucial for a soft, airy texture.
  • Allowing the dough to rise properly twice ensures fluffy bread.
  • You can substitute Colby Jack with mozzarella or cheddar cheese if preferred.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
