Original Recipe Yield 10 servings

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1 2/3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, wheat germ, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the water, 1 tablespoon oil and honey to 120 degrees F-130 degrees F. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn on to a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Roll into a 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; press dough to edges of pan. Brush with remaining oil. Sprinkle with parsley, basil and garlic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown. Cut into 20 strips. Serve warm.
