Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add in olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually incorporate all-purpose flour until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
  5. Prepare the filling by mixing minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, and shredded cheese.
  6. Roll the risen dough into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly over it.
  7. Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to form a log, pinch the edges to seal.
  8. Place seam-side down in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
