Mix flour, salt, and yeast in a large bowl until combined.

Add water and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Fold in shredded cheddar and grated parmesan until evenly distributed.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours, until bubbly and doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside.

Generously flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it.

Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven and add a sprinkle of cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Place the dough in the Dutch oven and cover with the lid.

Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
