Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and place your cast-iron skillet inside to heat.
  2. In a bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add olive oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Carefully remove the hot skillet, brush it with oil, and sprinkle some Asiago cheese on the bottom.
  5. Spread the dough evenly in the skillet and top with remaining Asiago cheese. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and crusty on top.
  7. Brush with melted butter, cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Asiago for better flavor and texture.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing to maintain a soft interior.
  • Preheat your skillet for an evenly crisp crust.
