Ingredients:

Dough:

• 3 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of instant yeast
• ½ cup of warm water
• ½ cup of warm milk
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter

Filling:

• 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup of diced mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup of diced feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon of dried basil
• ½ teaspoon of garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough

To start, combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, warm milk, and yeast until the yeast is dissolved. Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more warm water, if it's too wet, add a little more flour. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

2. Let it Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.

3. Prepare the Filling

In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar, diced mozzarella, and diced feta cheese. Add in the dried oregano, thyme, basil, and garlic powder and mix until well combined.

4. Assemble the Bread

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly, starting from the long side, and pinch the ends to seal the bread. Place the bread in a greased loaf pan.

5. Let it Rise Again

Cover the bread with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

6. Bake the Bread

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the bread has risen, brush the top with melted butter and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve and Enjoy

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This cheese bread is best served warm, and it's perfect on its own or as a side to your favorite meal.
