Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 pkg. (1/4 oz.) quick rising active dry yeast
- 1 pkg. (3 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Parmesan Cheese, divided

Directions
- Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, 1/4 cup cheese, salt, sugar and rosemary in large bowl. Combine 1 cup water and 3 tablespoons oil; heat until warm (120° to 130°F). Add to dry ingredients. Beat by hand or with an electric mixer until well combined. Gradually beat in remaining flour to form a soft dough.
