Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast together until mixed. Stir in the water and olive oil until a chunky, thick dough forms. If it needs a little more water, add a few more tablespoons. Gently stir in the cheese.

Step 2

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rest for 12-18 hours at room temperature.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Stick a 6-quart Dutch Oven in the oven for about 30 minutes to preheat. Gently scrape the dough onto a well-floured surface. Shape into a ball with flour on the outside, set on a piece of parchment.

Step 4

Lift the dough and parchment into the pan. Bake covered with a tight-fitting lid for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Chef’s notes

I like to use cheddar cheese, white cheddar cheese, pepperjack cheese, and Gruyere cheese. All make for a differently-flavored and slightly differently textured bread! All are delicious!

This works well with vegan cheese, too!
