# Ingredients:
→ Base for Dough

2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
02 -
3 eggs

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons honey

1 cup cubed or shredded mozzarella
09 -
2 cups cheddar, shredded
10 -
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
11 -
1/4 cup parmesan, freshly grated
# Instructions:
01 -
Stir milk, yeast, and honey together and wait a few minutes for bubbles to show. Drop in eggs, mix with 3 1/2 cups of flour and salt. Blend until smooth using a dough hook, tossing in a bit more flour if the dough sticks too much.
02 -
Cover it up and leave on your counter for an hour so it can double in size.
03 -
Toss all the cheeses, garlic, and herbs together in a bowl until evenly combined.
04 -
Turn dough into a rectangle, roughly 12x18 inches. Spread the cheesy mix all over evenly, roll it into a log, then slice it lengthwise. Twist the halves, form a spiral, pop it onto parchment-lined baking paper.
05 -
Cover and let the twisted loaf sit for 15 minutes, then bake in the oven at 350°F until the outside is golden, about 30-35 minutes.
# Notes:
01 -
Tastes amazing warm with the cheese still gooey.

Swap dried herbs for fresh, but use half as much.
