This savory bread recipe combines soft, fluffy dough with gooey mozzarella cheese and the aromatic touch of oregano. It's perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. The hint of salt elevates the flavor, making each bite irresistible.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) instant yeast
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Filling and Topping:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or 1 tbsp fresh, finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
  2. Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Shape the Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8–10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
  3. Flatten each ball into a small disk and place a generous pinch of mozzarella cheese in the center.
  4. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, pinching to seal, and shape it back into a ball.

Step 3: Add Toppings

  1. Arrange the filled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
  2. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and oregano.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
  2. Optional: For extra flavor, brush the baked bread with a bit more melted butter and sprinkle with additional oregano.
