Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and instant yeast, allowing it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add salt and olive oil, stirring well. Gradually mix in all-purpose flour until a dough forms.
  3. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, covering with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
  5. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Combine minced garlic, freshly chopped herbs, and shredded cheese in a bowl for the filling.
  7. Roll the dough out into a rectangle, spread the filling evenly, and roll it tightly into a log.
  8. Place the rolled dough seam-side down in a greased loaf pan, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), and let it rest for 20 minutes.
