Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast together in a large bowl; let sit until mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Punch dough down to release air; shape into two loaves. Place each loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Gather all ingredients.
Step 7
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and rubbery, 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 8
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.
