- 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp mixed herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley)

Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and gradually mix in flour until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes.
- 2. Let It Rise: Place kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 3. Prepare Filling: Mix minced garlic with herbs and cheese in a separate bowl.
- 4. Shape the Bread: Punch down the risen dough, roll it into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly, then roll tightly into a log shape.
