Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 1 h
Total time: 1 h 20 min
Yield: 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups (525 g) unbleached all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp instant yeast; 1 3/4 cups (430 ml) cold water; 3 cups (300 g) strong orange cheddar cheese, grated; 3/4 lb (340 g) bacon, thinly sliced, cooked until tender (not crispy)

Ingredients

- 3 1/2 cups (525 g) unbleached all-purpose flour 
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 3/4 cups (430 ml) cold water
- 3 cups (300 g) strong orange cheddar cheese, grated
- 3/4 lb (340 g) bacon, thinly sliced, cooked until tender (not crispy)

Preparation

- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and yeast. Add the water. With a fork, stir until the flour is completely moistened, but the dough is not entirely smooth. Add the cheese and bacon. Mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 8 to 12 hours at room temperature.
- Butter a 10 x 4-inch (25 x 10 cm), 6-cup (1.5 litre) loaf pan. Line with parchment paper, letting it hang over all four sides.
- With your hands, keeping the dough inside the bowl, deflate the dough by folding it in on itself about 6 times, turning the bowl 90 degrees with each fold, or just until the bacon and cheese are well distributed throughout.
- Place the dough in the loaf pan. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let sit for 1 hour at room temperature or until the dough has risen higher than the sides of the pan.
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake for 1 hour. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before unmoulding. Let cool completely.
