• In a big bowl, add the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Whisk to mix. Add the water and blend with a rubber spatula or wood spoon till the elements kind a shaggy, sticky ball and no dry streaks stay.

• Add the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses and blend into the dough together with your palms (lifting and turning) till the cheese is evenly mixed all through the dough. Pat the dough right into a ball form.

• Cowl the bowl and let the dough rise till very puffy and practically doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

• Place an oven rack within the middle place. Preheat the oven to 425 levels F.

• Generously grease a 9-inch pie plate or 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

• Scrape the dough away from the edges of the bowl with a rubber spatula, forming a tough ball within the middle of the bowl. Frivolously grease your palms with cooking spray or oil and form the dough right into a circle loaf form (or a rectangle loaf form if utilizing a loaf pan), tucking edges below. Place within the ready pan. The loaf won’t be fully easy and will look a bit tough in form, that is okay!

• Let the dough relaxation, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes till puffy.

• Bake for quarter-hour. Scale back the warmth to 375 levels F and proceed to bake for 15-20 minutes till golden. Tent the highest of the loaf with foil if the crust is browning too shortly whereas baking.

Flour: if the dough is completely too sticky to work with (keep in mind, it IS imagined to be softer than “common” bread dough), you’ll be able to add one other 1/4 cup flour (however resist the urge so as to add an excessive amount of further flour).
Cheese: I favor utilizing freshly grated cheese for this recipe – the flavour is extra pronounced and the cheese melds into the bread dough higher than pre-shredded cheese. When measuring the shredded cheese, evenly pack it into the measuring cup (but in addition remember that it doesn’t must be actual – extra cheese gained’t damage!). 
Yeast: to make use of energetic dry yeast instead of on the spot yeast, dissolve 1 tablespoon energetic dry yeast in 1/4 cup heat water till foamy and effervescent, and lower the water within the recipe by 1/4 cup – use the yeast combination within the recipe when including the remainder of the water. 
Buttered High: for a softer, shinier crust, butter the highest of the bread when it comes out of the oven. 
Sourdough Model: lower the water and flour every by 3/4 cup and add 1 1/2 cups fed or discard sourdough starter (I take advantage of a sourdough starter fed at a 1:1:1 ratio – it’s thick however nonetheless pourable). Add the sourdough discard with the nice and cozy water. Lower the yeast to 1 teaspoon for fed starter and a pair of teaspoons for discard.
