Basic Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it's frothy and bubbly, indicating that your yeast is ready.
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter, stirring until a dough forms. Knead it on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Let It Rise: Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm area for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Prepare Filling: While your dough is rising, mix the shredded cheese with chopped herbs in a bowl.
- Shape Your Heart: Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently. Roll it into a rectangle and cut it into smaller squares. Place a spoonful of the cheese-herb mixture in the center of each square and fold them over to create little pockets.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the filled squares into a heart shape on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and irresistible!

Notes
Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Always ensure the water used to activate the yeast is warm but not hot. Focus on developing gluten when kneading for desired chewiness.
