In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the warm water and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until manageable.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 7-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large loaf pan with olive oil or a non-stick spray.
In a small bowl, combine dairy-free cheese shreds, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped basil.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches.
Spread the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the dough.
Cut the dough into squares approximately 3x3 inches.
Stack the squares on top of one another and carefully place them into the prepared loaf pan in a row. Repeat with all the squares until the pan is full.
Cover the loaf pan loosely with foil or plastic wrap and let the dough rise again for about 20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm and enjoy your Dairy-Free Cheesy Garlic Herb Pull Apart Bread!
