Recipe

1. Dissolve the yeast in the milk; Add salt, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon oregano, and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
2. Add flour a little at a time; When dough is manageable, turn out dough onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
3. Place in bowl lightly oiled with olive oil; Rise for 1 hour in dark, warm place until dough has doubled.
4. Knead dough for 2-4 minutes; Divide dough into 20 equal pieces, roll each piece into a ball; Butter large loaf pan and place 14 of the balls on the bottom in 2 rows, 7 in each row; Brush with olive oil; Place remaining 6 balls down the middle on top of the other 14; Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oregano and 2 tablespoons parmesan.
5. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 400 degrees.
7. The balls will produce a beautiful,"mountainous" surface on the bread- a real conversation piece!
