2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
10 cups water for baking soda bath
2/3 cup baking soda

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups warm water, 1 packet active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Stir in 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter to form the dough.

Bake on a parchment-lined sheet for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
