Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (105-115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Activate the Yeast. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients. Add the salt, olive oil, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the Dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • First Rise. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Add the Cheese. Punch down the dough to release the air. Add the cheddar and mozzarella cheese and knead it into the dough until evenly distributed.
  • Second Rise. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until it almost doubles in size.
  • Bake. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the top of the loaf with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  • Cool and Slice. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Fluffy, cheesy, and utterly irresistible cheese bread. The perfect side for a cozy soup night, a crowd-pleasing appetizer, or even just a sneaky afternoon treat.
