Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water about 110°F
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon honey for whipped ricotta
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt for whipped ricotta
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 2 tablespoons honey for strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil for strawberries

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and instant yeast. Stir in the warm water and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size and is bubbly.
  3. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Place a Dutch oven (with the lid) in the oven to heat for about 30 minutes.
  4. Prepare the whipped ricotta by combining the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whip until smooth and creamy.
  5. For the honey roasted strawberries, preheat a small baking dish in the oven for 5 minutes. Toss the strawberries with honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil, then spread them in the heated baking dish.
  6. Roast the strawberries for 15-20 minutes, or until soft and caramelized.
  7. Once the dough has risen, carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball.
  8. Place the dough into the hot pot, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve topped with whipped ricotta and honey roasted strawberries.
