3.5 cups flour
1.5 teaspoons salt
2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
12 ounces pickled jalapeno, drained and dried on towels
2 cups water 110 degrees
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. Fold the dough, mix by hand for 8-10 turns. Cover with a towel and let this rise for 1 hour. After 1 hour, use the rubber spatula again to turn the dough another 8-10 times. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise another 1 hour.
Turn the dough out onto a large piece of parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a large dutch oven (with lid) in the oven as it heads. When preheated, gently lower the parchment and dough into the dutch oven. Cover. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid. Cook another 20 minutes uncovered at 450 degrees. Remove the bread from the dutch oven and cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.
