Instructions

In a large bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, salt, and dried oregano. Add honey, melted butter, milk, and water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm (not hot) place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into an oval sandwich-bread shape and place them on a lined baking tray.

Let the shaped dough rest for about 20–30 minutes. Before baking, score each loaf with 4 shallow slashes. Sprinkle generously with Parmesan and oregano.

Place a small oven-safe dish with water on the bottom of the oven to create steam.

Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20–22 minutes, until golden brown and baked through.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Master the Autolyse Technique 🌾
Mix flour and water 20-30 minutes before adding yeast and salt to develop gluten naturally, resulting in a lighter, airier crumb structure with better extensibility.
Toast Dried Herbs for Maximum Flavor 🌿
Lightly toast your dried oregano in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing into the dough to release essential oils and intensify the Italian herbaceous notes.
Use Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Keep milk and water at 75-80°F and soften butter beforehand to ensure even yeast activation and consistent fermentation without cold spots in your dough.
Create a Crispy Exterior with Steam 💨
Place a preheated cast iron skillet with water on the oven floor during the first 5 minutes of baking to generate steam that creates that signature light crust while keeping the inside tender.
Apply Egg Wash Before Topping 🥚
Brush beaten egg white on shaped rolls 5 minutes before adding Parmesan to create an adhesive base that helps the cheese and herbs stick firmly and brown beautifully.
