Ingredients

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and instant yeast together.
  2. Add the warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Fold in the shredded Gouda cheese and chopped dill.
  4. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours or until bubbles form on the surface.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Place a Dutch oven with its lid into the oven to heat for 30 minutes.
  3. Once hot, carefully remove the pot and transfer the dough onto a floured surface.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in the pot (uncovered).
  5. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
  7. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

Store at room temperature in a paper bag or a bread box to keep fresh. Avoid plastic bags to prevent a soggy crust. The bread is best eaten within a few days.
