Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F or 190°C). If using an oven, preheat to the same temperature.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, BBQ sauce, fresh basil, fresh parsley, and garlic powder to create the herbed glaze.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each into a flat, oval loaf about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Brush each loaf generously with the herbed glaze, ensuring even coverage on the tops and sides.

Step 9

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the loaves.

Step 10

Place the bread loaves directly on the grill or on a parchment-lined baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for 12-15 minutes per side if grilling, or bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven, until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the grill or oven and let it cool slightly. Slice and serve warm for the best flavor.
