Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 7-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Gradually fold in the shredded cheddar cheese during the last minute of kneading, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it lightly in oil.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and roll it into a log. Place the log into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the dough.

Step 9

Cover the pan loosely and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes, until it has risen slightly above the edges of the pan.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Slice and enjoy!
