Bread and Cheese

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until bubbly.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  6. 6

    Incorporate Cheese

    Punch down the risen dough and fold in the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan until evenly distributed.

  7. 7

    Shape the Loaf

    Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

  8. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  9. 9

    Bake the Loaf

    Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

  10. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
