Ingredients
2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
6 cups bread flour
½ cup grated Romano cheese
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast together in a large bowl; let sit until mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
Stir 3 cups flour, Romano cheese, olive oil, salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder into yeast mixture. Gradually mix in remaining 3 cups flour until incorporated; dough will be stiff.
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. Place dough into an oiled bowl and turn until the surface is coated. Cover with a damp dish towel and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down to release air; shape into two loaves. Place each loaf into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove loaves from the pans and let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
