Ingredients for No Knead Cheddar Bread:

• flour
• salt
• yeast
• water
• shredded sharp cheddar cheese

How to Make No Knead Cheddar Bread:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, salt and yeast until combined.

Add in water and stir until a sticky dough forms.

Stir in the cheddar cheese until fully incorporated into the dough.

Cover the dough and allow it to rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours.

When you are ready to bake your dough, put a dutch oven (empty) into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.

While the oven is preheating, heavily flour a smooth surface and roll your dough into the flour until it forms a ball.

Once the oven has preheated, remove the hot dutch oven, line with parchment paper (optional) and place the bread dough into the dutch oven.

Cover the bread and bake for 30 mins, then remove the lid from the dutch oven and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Slice and enjoy!
