I like to make ( & eat!) homemade bread, but, I don’t like all the work that sometimes is involved. Not always, but, if I can avoid it, I will. Yeah, I suppose that I’m a bit of a lazy bread baker. 🤷‍♀️

That is why I love this bread. It not only tastes amazing, it’s crazy easy to make.

The Short Ingredients List:

  • Flour
  • Salt
  • Dry active yeast
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Water

Do I have to include the cheddar cheese? Nope! It’s not required and tastes amazing without it. Also, you can replace it with any flavor cheese you wish or any other additions you want to try.

Warm Water? I don’t always check the temperature of my water (remember..lazy), but, it should be between 110-130 degrees for the yeast to be active, but, not be “killed” in the process.

The Pot? I used my cast iron dutch oven ( see recipe card), but, any heat-safe large stock pot or dutch oven will work. Just remember: It will need a lid and be able to handle 450 degree heat.

How To Make This Crunchy & Amazing Bread:

First, make your dough: In a large mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients. Be sure everything is mixed, but, don’t overdo it. The dough will look a little “rough”.

Cover the dough: This can be done with plastic wrap or a lid. I cover my bowl with a large serving plate.

Let it sit: Leave the covered dough sit and rise for 8-12 hours. You want it to double in size. A little tip…make your dough at night, go to bed, then, finish it off the next morning.

Heat the Pot: You will need a large dutch oven or heat safe pot with a lid to bake your bread. Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 450 degrees and when it has reached that temperature, place the dutch oven/pot into the oven. No dough should be in the pot at this time.!

Form Your Dough: While your empty pot is in the oven, remove the risen dough and place it on a well floured surface. Work the dough a bit and form it into a large ball, then, place it back in your bowl and cover it back up. Let it sit for 30 minutes.

BAKE! After the ball of dough has sat for 30 minutes, place it on a piece of parchment paper. Then, carefully (hot!) remove your dutch oven/pot from the oven and place the dough (on the parchment) into the pot. Cover the pot and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake an additional 15 minutes.

Cool it: Let the bread cool for 15-20 minutes before removing it from the pot.

Eat: It’s delicious and goes perfect with warm butter. 🥰

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tsp active yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar shredded cheese

Instructions

    5. Let the bread cool for 15-20 minutes before removing from the hot pot.
