Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Prepare your ingredients while the oven heats.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Fold the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the dry ingredients until fully coated.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk and melted butter until warm. Pour into the dry mixture and stir gently.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape into a round ball. Place it into a floured Dutch oven.
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove the bread from the pot and place it on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
