How to Add Cheese to Sourdough Bread | The Folding Method | Grant Bakes

Here's an easy method for adding cheese to your sourdough bread. I call this the "folding method." It's a great way to fold cheese into your dough, but it would also work for adding in other "inclusions" like nuts or dried fruit. But, let's focus on CHEESE!

Method Summary: If you properly fold in cubes of cheese during the bulk fermentation process, your bread will come out with delicious pockets of melty cheese inside! The cheese won't disintegrate into the loaf (like with shredded cheese), and because of the gentle folding process, the cubes of cheese won't get crushed or tear the gluten structure of the dough (like they would in a mixer).
