--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Starter:
   1                cup  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- or First 
Clear Flour, King Arthur
   1                cup  water
      1/8      teaspoon  instant yeast
                         Dough:
   2               cups  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- King Arthur
   2          teaspoons  Pizza Dough Flavor -- optional
   1           teaspoon  instant yeast
   1           teaspoon  salt
   2        tablespoons  olive oil
   1                cup  diced smoked Gruyere -- Havarti, or Gouda cheese
      1/2           cup  yellow onions -- or french-fried onions

This pull-apart bread features lots of chewy crust, and the heady 
flavors of onion and smoked cheese.

Yield: about 12 servings.
Serving (1 slice, 63g)

Sponge: Mix the sponge ingredients together, and let the mixture 
rest, covered, for 4 and up to 24 hours.

Mix together the sponge and the remaining dough ingredients, except 
for the cheese and onions, and mix, then knead--by hand, mixer or 
bread machine--to form a smooth, soft dough, adding additional water 
or flour as necessary, about 8 min. Knead in the cheese and onions. 
Allow the dough to rise, covered, until it's puffy looking, about 1 1/2 hr.

Cut slits into it, all the way through the bottom. Pull the dough 
apart widely (at least 2" apart) at the slits, to make a nice shape. 
Cover it, and let it rise for 30 minutes.Turn the dough out onto a 
lightly greased or floured work surface thick. Place it on a 
parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Brush it lightly 
with olive oil, then cut decorative.

Bake the fougasse in a preheated 450F oven for 16 to 18 min, until 
it's a deep, golden brown. Remove it from the oven, and cool it on a rack.
