Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh basil or oregano (chopped)
Instructions
- 1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- 2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms; knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- 3. Let It Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- 4. Prepare Filling: While dough rises, mix cheese with herbs in a bowl.
- 5. Shape Your Heart: Punch down risen dough and roll into a rectangle. Cut into squares; fill each with cheese-herb mixture and fold over.
- 6. Bake Until Golden: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange filled squares in heart shape on a greased baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
