Cheddar is often less expensive and still melts well.

Mix warm water and sugar in a bowl; add yeast and let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and garlic powder; create a well in the center.

Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out onto a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.

Spread the dough evenly, creating a slight lip around the edges.

Sprinkle mixed herbs, black pepper, and cheeses over the top; press lightly into the dough.

Let the dough rest for another 20 minutes to rise slightly.

Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing.

Serve warm with olive oil for dipping.
