You can also use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for this step as well. Make sure to not overwork on the dough. Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30-minutes.
Take the dough out. Remove the plastic wrap and place it on a floured surface. Add shredded cheddar cheese, dried rosemary, dried red pepper flakes, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
