Reduced quantity for smaller consumption

Mix the dry yeast with the flour in a mixing bowl. Add all the other ingredients (finally the water) and form a dough using the dough hook on the mixer. Knead the dough again in the bowl by hand until it is no longer sticky. Add a little more flour if necessary. Transfer the dough to a greased baking pan and place it on the middle rack of a cold, unheated oven. A silicone baking pan is optional, which I also grease very thinly—the bread practically rises to the surface after baking. Bake for 60 minutes at 200°C (top/bottom heat) or 50 minutes at 170°C (convection oven). My baking time is based on convection oven. After 10 minutes, score the top of the bread lengthwise with a sharp knife. Remove the bread from the baking pan and return it to the switched-off oven for 10 minutes to rest. The mountain cheese makes it a flavorful bread; with other cheeses it would be much milder. The additions to this bread, such as herbs, seeds or cheese, can be swapped out as desired, so that the result is always a “new” bread with a different taste.
