## Ingredients

- 8 oz warm water
- 3 tsp active dry yeast
- 4 cups flour
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbs oil
- 1 jar minced garlic
- 1 pinch garlic powder
- 1 pinch parsley
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 bag shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced jalapenos

## Instructions

1. Mix yeast with warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
2. In a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, eggs, and oil.
3. Mix until a soft dough forms. Add more flour if needed.
4. Once the dough is ready, place it in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours.
5. Divide the doubled dough into two equal halves.
6. Roll one half into a thin rectangle. Brush with melted butter and garlic. Sprinkle with garlic powder and parsley.
7. Spread mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.
8. Roll up the dough from the short side.
9. Cut the dough lengthwise, leaving the end intact. Twist the two halves together and place in a parchment-lined loaf pan.
10. Repeat for the second half of the dough, using cheddar cheese and jalapenos as filling.
11. Cover both loaves with a damp towel and let them rise again for about 45 minutes.
12. Prepare an egg wash (1 egg + a little water) and brush over both loaves.
13. Bake at 375°F for about 30 minutes.
