Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
Instructions
- 1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- 2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- 3. Knead the dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4. First rise: Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- 5. Shape & add cheese: Punch down the dough gently, fold in shredded Asiago cheese, then shape into a round loaf.
- 6. Preheat skillet & bake: Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat while preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the shaped dough in the skillet and let it rise briefly before baking for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
