# What you need:
→ Dough
01 - 4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 1/4 teaspoons instant dry yeast
03 - 1 teaspoon sugar
04 - 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
05 - 1 cup warm milk
06 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 - 2 large eggs
→ Filling & Topping
08 - 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
10 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
11 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
12 - 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
13 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
14 - 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

# Directions:
01 - Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl; let rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
02 - Add flour, salt, melted butter, and eggs to the yeast mixture; mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
03 - Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
04 - Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
05 - Punch down the dough and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
06 - Flatten each piece, place a pinch of mozzarella, parmesan, and herbs inside, then pinch edges to seal and shape into balls.
07 - Place the filled dough balls in a wreath shape on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they slightly touch.
08 - Brush the wreath with olive oil and beaten egg, then sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
09 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
10 - Allow bread to cool slightly before serving; garnish with extra fresh herbs if preferred.
