Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Asiago cheese
  • Optional: Fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Proof the yeast by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for about five minutes until frothy.
  2. In another bowl, mix the bread flour and salt together.
  3. Combine the yeast mixture with the dry ingredients and add olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
  6. Shape the dough into a loaf after punching down gently, fold in shredded Asiago cheese, then place it on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  7. Allow it to rise again for about 30-45 minutes before baking.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
