In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5–10 minutes until it’s frothy.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and dried herbs. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Stir until a dough begins to form. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).

Once risen, punch down your dough to release the air. Fold in the cheese until fully incorporated.

Shape the dough into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls. Place it in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet. Let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Let your bread cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes.
