1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

# Instructions:
01 -
Start by mixing the yeast and honey into the warm milk. Let that sit for 5 minutes until it looks bubbly. Stir in eggs, salt, and 3 1/2 cups of flour. Use the dough hook to knead it until smooth, sprinkling in a bit more flour if it's sticky.
02 -
Cover the bowl and leave it to rise at room temperature for an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
03 -
Mix the garlic, chopped herbs, and all the cheeses together in one bowl.
04 -
Flatten the dough into a rectangle about 12x18 inches. Spread the cheesy mixture on top, roll it into a firm log, slice it lengthwise, and twist the halves together. Coil that into a circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
05 -
Cover the loaf and let it rest for 15 minutes. Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden.
# Notes:
01 -
Serve this warm while the cheese is still gooey.

It's fine to use dried herbs, just cut the amount in half.
