When I saw this Great Midwest® Cranberry Cheddar at the grocery store I knew it would be a delicious cheese to add to my skillet bread.  This decadent cheese is the perfect combination of tart cranberries and delicious Wisconsin Cheddar.

While at the grocery store I also picked up a Mango Fire Cheddar that I will be making the yummiest grilled cheeses with!  Keep an eye out for that recipe coming soon!

Sorry, I digressed.  

Back to the bread I’ve made 3 times in the last 7 days.

The dough comes together so very easily in one bowl (and like the name says with no kneading), then you let it rise in that same bowl.  Then gently move it to your cast iron skillet and let it rise one more time.

  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 package)

    I just love the brown parts of this well-cooked bread. This is perfect for morning coffee. I would love to try making this very soon.

  2. Becky Willis says:

    Wow the cranberries and cheese sound like such a great combination. The only thing keeping from making this is I don’t have an iron skillet. So that will be on my list of things to get so I can make this.

    I cannot wait to try it!

  3. Hannah Marie says:

    I love bread but it’s just not easy to do it with the recipes I have. This one is the winner, I like that it’s a no knead recipe and it looks so delicious!

  4. Candy Rachelle says:

    Yummy and delicious looking bread. Nice shots and very well written recipe. I think I should try this one. Though my fav bread is the garlic and multigrain ones.

  6. Heidi says:

    I’ve never seen skillet bread before. That’s so fun! We have some issues with wheat at our house, so I can’t try the bread, but I’m definitely interested in that cheese! Thanks for the idea!

    This looks really good and something I would enjoy! I especially like that I don’t have to knead it. I have a weird loathing of that task…..

  9. April says:

    This looks fantastic and easy! I saw cranberry cheddar at the grocery store a couple weeks ago I wish I would’ve bought it! Now I’m wondering what it tastes like!

  10. Ruth I. says:

    This looks magnificent! I love that you used cranberries to give it a little-added flavor boost! Saving for later, I can’t wait to try it!

  11. Hannah Marie says:

    I have never heard of skillet bread unless it was corn bread! I also love the fact that it’s no-knead, that has always put me off from making bread so this is a game changer!

  12. Sharon says:

    Yessss! I love homemade bread – especially when cooked in a skillet. So easy and cleanup is a breeze. Cannot wait to try this incredible combo of carbs, cheese, and cranberries!

  13. Jennifer L says:

    Oh wow this break looks so easy to make and delicious too. Ive never tried making bread because I always think its going to be so hard to make. Def doing this for the holidays.

  14. Khushboo says:

    Baking is not my forte but you make it seems so easy peasy. I am tempted to give this one a try and I hope it works out 🙂

  15. Leigh Anne Borders says:

    This looks soooo yummy! I do not think I have ever made bread in a skillet like this before but I know I want to.

  16. Andrea says:

    Looks good – but i do have one question – i have candida (it’s a yeast issue) – is there anything i can use to substitute for the yeast in this recipe?

  17. Candy Rachelle says:
