Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, yeast, sugar, grated Parmesan and pizza dough flavor (optional). Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12 – 18 hours. Overnight works great.
Heat oven to 450-f degrees. When the oven has reached 450-f degrees place a cast iron pot with a lid in the oven and heat the pot for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour dough onto a heavily floured surface. Add the shredded cheese and pepperoni and fold over onto itself a few times to incorporate. Shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let set while the pot is heating.
Remove hot pot from the oven and drop in the dough. Cover and return to oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove the lid and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
