In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it's frothy.
Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for approximately 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F).
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by melting the vegan butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and basil. Set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1 cm thick.
Spread the garlic herb butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the grated vegan mozzarella evenly over the top.
Cut the dough into squares around 5x5 cm. Stack the squares on top of each other in groups of 3-4 pieces.
Place the stacks vertically into a greased loaf pan, gently packing them in without compressing too tightly.
Cover the loaf pan with a cloth and let it rise for another 20 minutes.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before serving. Pull apart the pieces and enjoy the cheesy garlicky goodness!
