Make a simple, cheesy loaf using a no-knead method. This bread features sharp cheddar cheese throughout for a savory, satisfying result.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 105-115F)
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
  2. Pour in the warm water and mix with a spoon until just combined into a shaggy dough. Do not knead.
  3. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. The dough will become bubbly and increase in volume.
  5. Lightly flour a work surface. Scrape the dough out onto the surface. Gently fold the dough over itself a few times to form a rough ball.
  6. Place the dough ball onto a piece of parchment paper. Cover loosely and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 450F (232C) with a Dutch oven inside for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven. Use the parchment paper to lower the dough into the pot.
  9. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the lid, brush the top of the bread with melted butter, and bake uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown.
  11. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For an Italian herb flavor, add 1 teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning to the dry ingredients.
  • Use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for extra stretchiness in the cheese pull.
  • If you prefer a garlic flavor, mix 1 teaspoon of garlic powder with the melted butter before brushing the top.
