1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Give it a good whisk for some flour excitement! Then, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 cup of warm water. Stir it all together until a sticky dough forms.

2

Knead and Rise

Sprinkle some flour on a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. Time to get your dough-kneading muscles ready! Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Once you're done, place the dough back in the mixing bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise and expand for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

3

Prep the Cheesy Goodness

Once your dough has risen like a champ, it's time to add the cheesy magic. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take the risen dough and gently press it onto the baking sheet, forming a rectangle shape. Drizzle some olive oil on top and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Oh, the cheesiness! Add a sprinkle of dried herbs like rosemary or oregano, and a pinch of salt and black pepper if you're feeling adventurous.

Bake, Baby, Bake!

Pop your cheesy creation into the preheated oven and let the magic happen! Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese becomes gloriously bubbly. The aroma will fill your kitchen and make your taste buds dance in excitement!
