Ingredients
- Flour: 3 cups all-purpose flour
- Yeast: 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- Salt: 1 1/4 teaspoons sea salt
- Water: 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
- Dill: 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- Gouda Cheese: 1 cup Gouda cheese, shredded
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.
- Add the warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Fold in the chopped dill and shredded Gouda cheese until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours, until the surface is bubbly and the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat for 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven, and transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Shape it into a ball.
- Place the dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- This bread can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Substitute fresh dill with dried dill (1 tablespoon) if fresh is unavailable.
- For a different flavor, try adding herbs like thyme or rosemary instead of dill.
