Ingredients
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water 110°F
- 2 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the bread flour, instant yeast, and salt. Pour in the warm water and stir until the dough is just combined. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rest in a warm spot for about 2 hours until it doubles in size.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Transfer the risen dough onto the surface and gently fold in 3/4 of the shredded cheddar cheese, adding the remaining cheese as a topping.
- Preheat a heavy, oven-safe pot with a lid in your oven at 450°F for about 30 minutes. Carefully transfer the dough along with the parchment paper into the hot pot.
- Cover and bake for 35 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for an additional 10 minutes to develop a golden, crisp top.
