Homemade Cheddar Bread

I've posted this recipe before, but thought I would share it again. Look how beautiful this is, and it is so delicious! And easy! Another Friday favorite!


3 c flour
1 3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp yeast
Dash of chili powder
Dash of ground thyme

Mix all together in a bowl and add 1 1/2 c of water to make a blob of dough. I use a mixing spatula for this. Add cheddar cheese. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let it sit overnight on the kitchen counter. At least 24 hours. Take note that the dough will rise quite a bit. Then bake.

Preheat oven to 450 F. Place a covered iron casserole dish in the oven and heat the empty dish with the cover for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, flour your counter or kneading board and dump the dough into the flour, rolling it around a bit until the stickiness dissipates. Cover dough with the cling wrap and wait for casserole to heat.

Place dough in hot casserole, cover and bake for 30 min. Uncover and bake another 15 min. Thats it! Yummy!
