Method
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
- Stir in the shredded cheese and chopped herbs until the cheese is coated in flour.
- Slowly pour in the warm water and mix until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dump the risen dough onto the prepared baking sheet and gently shape it into a round loaf with lightly floured hands.
- Bake the loaf for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
- Brush the top with melted butter, if desired, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes
This bread is very adaptable, allowing substitutions for cheese and herbs based on what you have at home.
For extra flavor, consider mixing two types of cheese or letting the dough rise overnight in the refrigerator.
To store, wrap the cooled loaf and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
For a softer crust, brush with butter after baking and store wrapped in a towel instead of plastic.
