No Knead Cheddar Cheese Bread

Ok so the recipe makes 2 loaves, I only have 1 bread mold (and even then there was too much! so I made some extra rolls with the leftovers).

So here are the measurements I used....

1 package active dry yeast
6 tblsp warm water
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 tblsp shredded Parmesan cheesea
1 cup milk
1.5 tbsp sugar
.5 tbsp butter melted
1 tsp salt
3 to 3.25 cups all plain flour
1 egg white beaten
1 tbsp water

Topping:
1/4 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
1 garlic clove minced
1/4 tsp sesame seeds
1/4 tsp poppy seeds
1/4 tsp paprika
-In large bowl dissolve yeast in water, add the cheeses, milk, sugar, butter, salt and 3 cups of flour. Beat by hand or mixer about 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough.
-Do not knead, cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours
-Stir dough down, transfer to greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled about 30 minutes.
-In small bowl combine egg white and water. In another bowl combine topping ingredients. Brush loaf with egg white/water mixture, sprinkle with topping, bake at 190C for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans and place on wire rack to cool.


Ok - I'm totally guilty, I cut into it while it was warm (not hot), I couldn't wait, it smelled amazing!
The original recipe calls for celery seed in the topping, I could only find celery salt and when I opened it and sniffed it - wow, no way way I putting it on! I did up the topping ingredients too, I'm a big fan of paprika and seeds! 

And here's a link to the original video;
