Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 packet (approximately 2 1/4 teaspoons) Instant yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes.
Gently work in the cheddar and Parmesan cheese, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface. Cover with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place the loaf onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of the dough with the egg wash to give it a golden-brown finish.
Using a sharp knife, score the top of the bread with a shallow X or a series of parallel slashes to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
