Its an easy recipe that rewards patience with a delicious, crusty loaf that tastes even better the next day.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the sourdough starter, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and wheat bran. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. During the last minute of kneading, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  6. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
  7. Let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  8. Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  9. Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the dough crests the top of the pan.
  10. Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
  11. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  12. Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
