# Method:
01 - Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
02 - Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture; mix to form a dough. Knead on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
03 - Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
04 - Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
05 - Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 10 by 18 inch rectangle.
06 - Evenly sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped olives, herbs, garlic, and black pepper over the dough.
07 - Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice the log lengthwise with a sharp knife, exposing the filling. Twist the two strands together with cut sides facing up.
08 - Shape the twisted dough into a circle, pinch the ends to seal, and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
09 - Brush with beaten egg, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with additional herbs and Parmesan cheese.
10 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
11 - Allow the bread to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
