Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough:

  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups very warm tap water

Cheese Filling:

  • 2 1/2 cups Colby cheese, freshly shredded

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: Combine flour, salt, and yeast. Add water and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  2. Rise: Let the dough double in size over 2-3 hours.
  3. Preheat pot: Heat a heavy-based pot in the oven.
  4. Shape loaf: Pat dough into a disc, add cheese, fold, and transfer to a parchment-lined pot.
  5. Bake: Bake covered, then uncovered, until golden brown.
  6. Cool: Rest before slicing and enjoying!

Notes

  • Bread flour gives a chewier texture.
  • Instant yeast can be mixed directly into dry ingredients.
  • Water should be warm but not hot.
  • Freshly shredded cheese is recommended for better meltability.
