  • 1 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and yeast until combined.
  2. Gradually add water while stirring until no dry flour remains; the dough will be sticky.
  3. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese gently until evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with an empty Dutch oven inside.
  6. Gently turn the rested dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball.
  7. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven, line it with parchment paper if desired, and place the dough inside.
  8. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
