--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                          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  golden baking onions -- or french-fried onions

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.

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 slits into it, 
all the way through the bottom. Pull the dough apart widely (at least 
2 inches apart) at the slits, to make a nice shape. Cover it, and let 
it rise for 30 minutes.

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.

Yield: about 12 servings.
