This no-knead cheese bread recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy freshly baked bread with gooey melted cheese on top. With simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can have a beautiful loaf of cheesy bread to enjoy with soups, salads, or on its own.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups very warm tap water
  • 2 1/2 cups tightly packed Colby cheese, freshly shredded

Instructions

  1. Shaggy dough: Mix flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add water and mix until combined.
  2. Rise: Cover and let the dough rise for 2-3 hours until doubled in volume.
  3. Preheat pot: Preheat oven and pot.
  4. Shape loaf: Pat dough into a disc, add cheese, fold inwards, transfer to parchment paper, top with reserved cheese.
  5. Bake: Bake covered, then uncovered until golden brown. Cool before slicing.

Notes

  • 1. You can use plain or all-purpose flour.
  • 2. Rapid rise yeast can also be used.
  • 3. Water should be very warm but not boiling.
  • 4. Feel free to use your favorite cheese in place of Colby.
  • 5. The dough should double in size and have a bubbly surface.
  • 6. Folding the dough helps create layers of cheese throughout the bread.
  • 7. If you don’t have a Dutch oven, follow alternative preheating instructions.
  • 8. Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to prevent it from becoming too gummy.
