In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Stir well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients along with olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough begins to come together.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 7-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, feel free to add more flour, a tablespoon at a time.

Incorporate the grated Parmesan cheese and dried herbs into the dough. Knead gently until they are evenly distributed.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased bread pan.

Cover it again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Once the dough has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy it warm with olive oil or your favorite dipping sauce!
