Ingredients

20 servings

•

2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
•

2 tablespoons white sugar
•

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
•

6 cups bread flour
•

0.5 cup grated Romano cheese
•

0.25 cup olive oil

•

1 tablespoon salt
•

1 tablespoon dried basil
•

1 tablespoon dried oregano
•

1 teaspoon garlic powder
•

1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Gather all ingredients.
Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast together in a large bowl; let sit until mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
Stir 3 cups flour, Romano cheese, olive oil, salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder into yeast mixture. Gradually mix in remaining 3 cups flour until incorporated; dough will be stiff.
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and rubbery, 5 to 10 minutes.
Place dough into an oiled bowl and turn until the surface is coated. Cover with a damp dish towel and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down to release air; shape into two loaves. Place each loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove loaves from the pans and let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
