Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 300 milliliters warm water
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 100 grams dairy-free blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and agave syrup. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Step 2
Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.
Step 3
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, a little at a time.
Step 5
Gently knead in the chopped rosemary and crumble the dairy-free blue cheese into the dough until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Step 8
Punch down the dough and transfer it back to a floured surface. Shape it into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Let the loaf rise again for another 20-30 minutes or until it has slightly puffed up.
Step 10
Make a few shallow slashes across the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
