Tips

  • No kneading required; just dump everything into one bowl.
  • The warm water should be like bathwater, 110 to 115 Fahrenheit.
  • Any type of yeast will work and does not need to sit to activate.
  • You can customize seasonings like garlic powder and onion powder.
  • Any type of cheese can be used.
  • A warm spot for the dough to rise can be in the oven with the light on, on top of the fridge, or using an oven's proof setting.
  • A Dutch oven is not necessary; a pot or bread pan can also be used.
  • You can add extra cheese to the top of the bread before baking.
  • Let the bread cool before cutting for best results, although it's often eaten hot.
