Steps

4 hours 30 mins

1

Add all ingredients but water and cheese to a bowl
2

Mix ingredients together
3

Add water
4

Mix until incorporated, work on lightly floured table until smooth and a bit warmed. (The ice water is to give you enough time to work this dough without it getting too warm.)
5

Place back into bowl and cover.
6

Allow to double. About 2 hours.
7

Shape into peasant shape. It should resemble a baked potato. Place on a cormeal dusted pan. Cover with plastic wrap.
8

Preheat oven to 450°F
9

Allow to double again. About 90 minutes. Or when it holds a dimple when pressed with a finger. For a more realistic look wash with egg, simple syrup, or half & half. If you prefer not to, it will not affect the flavor, only the appearance. With a razor blade or sharp knife cut the length of the loaf.
10

Top with shredded cheese and bake for 20 - 30 minutes or more until hollow sounding when tapped on bottom or internal temperature reaches 180°F - 200°F.
11

Allow to cool.
