An easy no-knead cheese bread that bakes up to a golden flat bread, studded with melting cheese and chopped garlic. It is simple easy and can be topped with a mixture of your favorite herbs or pizza seasoning. You can make bread sticks out of the day old flatbread. I got the recipe from King Arthur's Flour... It is a favorite with the family.

How To Make no-knead garlic-cheese flatbread

  • 1
    Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan, and drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil in the bottom.
  • 2
    Combine all of the ingredients except the cheese and garlic, and beat at high speed with an electric mixer for 60 seconds.
  • 3
    Add the cheese and garlic, beating gently just to combine
  • 4
    Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared pan, cover the pan, and let it rise at room temperature for 60 minutes, till it's become puffy.
  • 5
    While the dough is still rising, preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • 6
    Bake the bread till it's golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • 7
    Remove it from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • 8
    Yield: about 12 to 18 servings bread; or about fifty 6 1/2" bread sticks.

    NOTE: Active dry yeast is a little bit slower off the mark than instant, as far as dough rising goes; but in a long (2- to 3-hour) rise, the active dry yeast catches up. If a recipe using instant yeast calls for the dough to “double in size, about 1 hour,” you may want to mentally add 15 to 20 minutes to this time if you’re using active dry yeast.
