Tips:

For a softer loaf, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour.
To make sure the loaf is cooked through, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, the loaf is done.
For a cheesy, gooey center, use a combination of cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese.
If you don't have a loaf pan, you can bake the dough in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
To make the loaf ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, let the loaf come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
