'Pizza' Bread Recipe

Directions

1. 1
   Combine the water, yeast, and sugar in bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hoook attachment. Mix until just combined, then let rest 10 minute. Add bread flour, tomato paste, oregano, pepper flakes, and salt. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Add the olive oil and continue kneading until the oil is completely incorporated and dough is smooth, shiny, and elastic, about 2 minutes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

   When the dough has doubled, flour work surface and turn out dough. Knead dough briefly, then divide into 16 equal pieces. Wrap each piece of dough around one of the cubes of cheese and form the dough into a smooth ball. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the dough balls and roll them around to coat them with the parmesan. Place the dough balls in a 9-inch square pan and sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and set aside until the dough doubles in size, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325°F with a rack in the center of the oven..
