2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 tablespoons margarine, softened
1 ½ tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons white sugar
4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Sprinkle yeast over water in large bowl. Let stand a few minutes, then stir and dissolve yeast. Add sugar, salt, margarine, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, oregano and 3 cups of the flour. Beat at slow speed for 2 minutes. Beat in rest of flour; cover the bowl with a sheet of wax paper and a kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place 45 minutes, or until doubled in volume.
