Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• ⅓ cup warm water (110 degrees F)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine warm water and yeast. Let sit until mixture starts to foam, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Mix tomatoes, cheese, cumin, prosciutto, and rosemary together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

Mix flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg together in a separate large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add tomato mixture, eggs, butter, yeast. Mix until mixture pulls from the sides. Dough will be sticky with a soft texture.

Step 5

Lightly flour a work surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, adding more floor as needed to keep it from sticking to the work surface, about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Oil bottom and sides of a clean bowl. Place dough in bowl and cover with clean cloth or towel 2 hours. Punch down and let rest 10 minutes.

Step 7

Lightly oil a baking sheet. Shape dough into round loaf and place on sheet. Cover until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 8

Bake bread in preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool on a rack to room temperature.
