Skillet Cheese Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup shredded Italian cheeses
Instructions
-
In the bowl of your food processor, insert the dough blade. Mix the warm water and yeast in a measuring cup and let stand for five minutes. Add the flour, honey, olive oil and salt to the bowl of the food processor. Slowly add the water with the yeast and process until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Continue to process for one minute to knead the dough. In a medium size cast iron skillet drizzle 1 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Put the dough in the pan, flip the dough so both sides are covered with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Punch the dough down in the pan after 40 minutes. Press to fill the pan and dimple with thumb prints. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and cover with shredded cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden. Remove from oven, cool a few minutes. Place bread on a cutting board. Slice and enjoy.

No food processor? Not a problem. Combine water and yeast as above. Place the flour, honey, olive oil and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture, pour in the water/yeast mixture. Slowly stir to combine, once all of the dry ingredients are incorporated, knead dough on a hard surface for 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth. Continue as above placing dough in the oiled skillet.
