No-Knead Sesame-Havarti Bread

Ingredients:

     13    oz warm tap water
     1.5   tsp Salt
     1.25 tsp instant yeast (red star quick rise)
     3.5   C bread flour (enriched unbleached wheat)
     1      C havarti cheese grated
     2       tbl sesame seed
     2       tbl extra virgin olive oil

Method:

     Put mixing bowl in microwave on high for one minute

     Mix water, salt, yeast, stir gently. Add flour, stir shaggy ball status
           add cheese, stir into the ball (use a wooden spoon handle for the stirring)

     Proof (1st Rising):  cover and place in oven with oven light on for
          1.5 hours or until dough has doubled.

     Pre-heat empty Dutch Oven at 450 - 500 degrees:
          reduce to 430 for final bake. 

     Prep for 2nd Rising:
          Place parchment paper in large skillet, spray with no-stick

          Prep the dough for 2nd Rising:
               De-gas the dough (punch it with spoon handle).
               Place on lightly doughed surface, pull and stretch, add sesame
                    seeds if desired
               Form into ball, put on parchment paper in skillet
               Cover with a towel and let rise for 30 mins.

     Baking:
          Pick up parchment with dough and place inside the preheated Dutch Oven
          Slice across the dough to create a nice crust crack, brush a light layer of extra
               virgin olive oil, and a light sprinkle of flour
          Place in oven at 400 degrees, put lid on the Dutch Oven.

          At 30 mins check for appearance. If the crust isn't dark enough,
                remove the lid and continue baking in ten minute increments
                     for desired color.

     Remove, let cool, slice, add butter, enjoy!!!!
