- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Stir in flour and salt until combined.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let It Rise: Place kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Add Cheese: Punch down the risen dough gently to release air bubbles. Fold in shredded cheese evenly.
- Shape & Bake: Shape the dough into a round loaf or smaller rolls. Place on a lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool & Enjoy: Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
