Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (100°F to 110°F)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Gradually add this mixture to the yeast mixture until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Gently fold in grated Parmesan cheese. Pinch off small pieces of dough (about one inch) and roll them into balls.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with extra Parmesan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
