Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes

  • salt
  • black pepper
  • half the Parmesan

Extra Crispy Tips

No-Knead Cheesy Bread

by

 







Here’s a simple, no-knead cheesy bread that comes out golden, fluffy, and loaded with melty cheese — perfect for breakfast, snacking, or serving with soup (especially your winter Harira!).


🧀 No-Knead Cheesy Bread

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (optional for brushing)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano or thyme (optional)

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

  • In a bowl, mix:
    warm water + yeast + sugar
  • Let it rest for 5 minutes until foamy.

2. Make the Dough (No Kneading!)

  • Add flour + salt to the yeast mixture.
  • Stir with a spoon until just combined — it will be sticky (this is perfect).
  • Fold in shredded cheese.

3. First Rise

  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel.
  • Let rise 1–2 hours until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Dough

  • Sprinkle flour on your countertop.
  • Gently shape the dough into a ball — don’t knead, just fold it a few times.

5. Second Rise (Short)

  • Place the dough on parchment paper.
  • Let it rest for 20–30 minutes while the oven heats.

6. Preheat Oven & Bake

  • Place a Dutch oven (or any covered pot) inside the oven.
  • Preheat to 230°C / 450°F.
  • When hot, carefully add the dough (with parchment).
  • Cover and bake 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and crispy.

Optional Finishing

Brush the top with olive oil + garlic powder + oregano.


Tips

  • Want it extra cheesy? Add ½ cup more cheese on top during the last 10 minutes.
  • Add chopped olives, jalapeños, or herbs for flavor variations.
  • If you don’t have a Dutch oven, bake on a tray with a bowl of hot water in the oven for steam.

If you want, I can also give you a Moroccan-inspired cheesy bread or a quick 15-minute skillet version.
