Rolled Blue Cheese Bread

Makes 1 loaf

1 ½ cups warm water
2 teaspoons dry active yeast
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
About 3 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
4 ounces good quality blue cheese
Sea salt

Place the water, yeast and olive oil in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle. Mix and allow to stand until the mixture starts to foam about 5 minutes. Add about 2 cups of flour and mix well. Add the remaining flour a bit at a time until the dough starts to clean the side of the bowl. Add the salt and mix about 5 minutes. Remove from the bowl and form into a ball. Lightly oil a large zip lock bag with olive oil and add the dough. Let rise about 1 hour until doubled in volume. Remove from the bag and gently form into a 6 x 12-inch rectangle. Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese. Roll like a jellyroll and pinch to seal the ends. Let rise about 30 minutes. Heat oven to 425 degrees while the bread is rising. Place the bread on a stone and slash the top and top with a bit of sea salt. Cook until golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing.
