Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.

Gradually add the warm water and mix with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

Gently deflate the dough and knead in the vegan blue cheese, ensuring it's evenly incorporated.

Add the chopped rosemary and crushed walnuts into the dough, kneading until well mixed.

Step 8

Shape the dough into a rustic round loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 9

Cover the loaf with a clean cloth and let it rest for another 20 minutes.

Step 10

Before baking, brush the top with olive oil for a crisp crust.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
