FAQ
Can I make this bread without a Dutch oven?
Yes! You can bake it on a preheated baking sheet with a small oven-safe pan of water on the bottom rack to create steam.

What’s the best cheese to use?
A mix of sharp cheddar and mozzarella gives a great combination of flavor and meltiness, but you can use any favorite cheese.

Can I speed up the rising time?
If short on time, let the dough rise in a slightly warm oven (turned off) for about 4-6 hours instead of overnight.
