Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon yeast
  • 1 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese 1/4 - 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoons lemon zest from 2 lemons
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl combine flour, yeast, and salt. Whisk or sift to combine. Stir in cheese, lemon zest, and rosemary.

  2. Pour water over the top of the flour mixture and stir just until combined. The mixture should look shaggy without any dry flour visible. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for 12-18 hours.
  3. When ready to bake, heat oven to 450℉. Place a large ovenproof pot with a lid in the heated oven and let heat for 30 minutes. Carefully turn dough onto a lightly floured surface or a sheet of non-stick parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap while the pot is heating for 30 minutes.
  4. After 30 minutes remove plastic wrap and carefully lift the dough into the hot pot. Place the lid on the pot and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and carefully lift the hot bread out and place on a cooling rack. Cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Recipe Notes

  • Parchment makes it so easy to transfer the dough into a hot pot and then remove it after baking. But it is not necessary.  Use silicone-coated/non-stick parchment paper.  The regular non-coated paper will stick terribly. 
  • White cheddar, Asiago, or Parmesan cheese can be used in place of Gruyere.
  • Cheese can be shredded instead of cubed.
