Ingredients

Bread
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp syrup
  • 4 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cups plant-based parmesan
  • 2 tbsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Pour water over the dry yeast and stir until the yeast dissolves. Then pour in flour, syrup, thyme, plant parmesan, black pepper and salt. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, preferably in a kitchen assistant. Leave the dough to rise covered until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Pour out the dough on a floured surface and then carefully shape the dough into a boule. Avoid pushing out air. Place the shaped dough in a floured bowl, seam side down, and leave to rise for another 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 250 degrees celsius and put a cast iron pot in the oven to preheat it.
  • When the dough has finished rising, take the cast iron pot out of the oven and lower the oven temperature to 220 degrees celsius. Place the dough seam side up in the warm cast iron pot and place it back in the oven for 35 minutes, with the lid on.
  • After 35 minutes, remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes. Take the pot out of the oven and immediately lift out the bread, otherwise it will continue to bake.
