Easy No-Knead Skillet Bread with Cheese & Herbs

Enjoy this yummy but simple no-knead skillet bread with cheese and herbs. My family loves savoury breads and this no-knead skillet bread was no exception. Now they’re asking for it almost every week, scratch that every day! It’s that easy to make and you can switch it up from sweet to savoury or however you want!

If you haven’t baked much with yeast or at all I know it can seem a bit intimidating at first, I’ve been there but now that I’ve baked with yeast several times there’s no going back. Oh so many yummy things to be made from cinnamon rolls to delicious breads like our herb and cheese skillet bread.

Here are the ingredients that you need to make this yummy yet simple skillet bread.

Yep that’s really all you need to make a mouth-watering loaf of this skillet bread, 6 ingredients. You can use whatever herbs and additions you like. If you have fresh herbs those are always amazing to add. I grow rosemary for example and love to use it in my recipes. Here are some of my favourites that I like to use:

• Rosemary (shocker I know)
• Olives
• Nuts
• Roasted Garlic
• Onion (I would personally use onion flakes)
• Different cheeses

For this particular skillet bread recipe I kept it very simple this time and just used a Clubhouse Garlic and Herb mix. I’ve since made it a few more times and garlic and rosemary is my personal favourite and the family seems to love it too.

Yeast Tip

When using yeast, warm temperatures are best but not HOT. The water should be warm about 110F and definitely not hot as hot temperatures can kill the yeast. If the yeast doesn’t bubble, foam or react I’m sorry to tell you that you’ve killed it.

Once your dough is all mixed you will let it rest in the bowl so it will rise for about 50-60 minutes. It should double in size. That’s the toughest part in my opinion is waiting for the dough to rise as I’m impatient as I want to bake and then eat this bread while it’s nice and warm with some butter melting on it. Oh my, freshly baked bread with butter is my weakness big time!

This recipe is very easy and forgiving, don’t worry if you make a mistake, as mentioned earlier the most important thing in my opinion is making sure your water is not too hot so you don’t kill the yeast. That’s main thing that can make this cast iron skill bread recipe a flop.

Now let’s get to this delicious but oh so simple cheese and herb no-knead skillet bread recipe shall we?

Skillet Bread Recipe

Print

Enjoy this yummy but simple no-knead skillet bread with cheese and herbs. You can easily change it from savory to sweet.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Additional Time 1 hour

Total Time 1 hour 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 1.5 tbsp instant yeast
• 2 cups of warm water
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp herb seasoning (add more if you like a bolder herb profile this is milder)
• 1/3 cup of shredded cheese
• 3.5-4 cups of white flour

Instructions

Place yeast and warm water in a bowl to let is sit for 5 minutes.

Add in remaining ingredients, starting with 3.5 cups of flour and mix with hands for 3-4 minutes. You want dough to be just slightly sticky but not very sticky. Add in flour as needed. I find that you can just mix the cheese in with all the dry ingredients and it mixes up just fine. This bread recipe is very forgiving.

Place in the bowl covered for 45-60 minutes in a warm spot until doubled in size.

Pat down dough and place in oven safe baking dish and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown on top. A toothpick should come out clean as well and the top should feel firm. I made mine in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet and it baked up in about 35 minutes

Let cool before cutting.

Notes

You can of course skip the cheese if you prefer without cheese.

If you'd like a sweet bread then skip the cheese and garlic herbs etc.. and you can use a bit of cinnamon, brush honey on top of the loaf about 5 minutes before you want to take it out of the oven.

You could also add chocolate chips. I personally like this bread savory but I know some people who have sweetened it.

Look at how fluffy this delicious this cast iron skillet bread is with cheese and herbs, oh my. As I’ve mentioned this loaf never lasts long in my home and there’s only 3 of us here! As you can see it’s super simple to make so there’s nothing stopping you from giving it a go.

If you try this skillet bread recipe make sure to come back and let us know how you liked and what variations you liked or didn’t like. Now that I’ve made myself hungry again I’m going to go and see if I’ve still got enough ingredients to make this skillet bread recipe again.
