3 cheese prosciutto bread

Updated on Feb 5, 2011

This is a variation of a basic no-knead bread that I've been experimenting with. It's really delicious and very easy! You can make changes for your own taste, as long as you stick to the basic blend of flour, water, salt, and yeast. The pizza seasoning I am using is a store-brand pizza seasoning grinder mix, but I'm screwing off the grinder and using it whole. The bits of seasoning rehydrate while the loaf is sitting overnight. I am using Kroger's brand, found with the spices.

How To Make 3 cheese prosciutto bread

  • Step 1
    Mix flour, salt, yeast, and pizza seasoning.
  • Step 2
    Add cheeses and mix by hand.
  • Step 3
    Pour water into the flour mixture. Combine until well moistened.
  • Step 4
    Turn the dough into a large, well-greased, sealable container and close the lid. Sit for 12 hours on the counter.
  • Step 5
    Turn the dough onto a floured surface.
  • Step 6
    Fold edges into the middle several times. Each time you fold, add a few pinches of the prosciutto until it's gone.
  • Step 7
    Turn the dough over with the folded-in side under, and shape into a ball.
  • Step 8
    Sprinkle with flour and place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let rest for 2 1/2 hours.
  • Step 9
    Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with a Dutch oven and a lid.
  • Step 10
    Once preheated, carefully remove the Dutch oven and the lid. Place the dough and the parchment paper into it. Replace lid.
  • Step 11
    Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on.
  • Step 12
    Remove lid and bake an additional 10 minutes.
  • Step 13
    Remove the bread with the parchment paper and place the bread on a cooling rack.
