Description

Enjoy warm, cheesy bread just like Subway’s with this easy-to-follow copycat recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in a small bowl. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and Italian seasoning. Make a well in the center.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the well in the dry ingredients. Stir to combine, then knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Dough: Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle, 12 inches long and 6 inches wide.
  6. Add the Cheese and Herbs: Brush the dough with olive oil. Sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning over the dough. Press lightly to help the cheese stick.
  7. Let the Dough Rise Again: Cover the dough and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Bake the Bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown on top and hollow when tapped.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool for at least 15 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

For stronger herb flavor, mix fresh chopped herbs with the cheese. You can also add garlic powder to the dough or topping for a garlic-flavored bread.
