Add flour to liquid and stir with a fork until dough becomes sticky. Add grated cheddar and start kneading with hands. Knead until dough is smooth to the touch. Form in a long oval shape and place inside loaf pan. Work dough into the corners of the pan.

Spread butter over top of dough and sprinkle with more cheddar. Cover entire loaf pan with a dish towel and place near a warm area. Allow about an hour for the dough to rise.

Heat oven to 375º and cook for approximately 45 minutes to one hour. Once the cheddar is a dark golden brown, it's ready!
