Instructions

1. Mix the yeast, water and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, whisk, and let proof for about 8 minutes.
2. Whisk the flour and salt together in a large bowl.
3. Add the flour mixture to the mixer with 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil and knead on low for 10 minutes.
4. Transfer the dough to a large bowl greased with 2-3 tablespoons olive oil, turn to coat, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for about 2-3 hours, until doubled or tripled in volume.
5. Punch the dough down, knead in the halloumi, feta, cheese, scallions, olives and oregano by hand until evenly mixed, then shape into a ball.
6. Preheat the oven to 475°F (250°C).
7. Spread semolina over a cast iron skillet or parchment-lined baking pan, place the dough on top, cover loosely with plastic and let rise 30-40 minutes until slightly puffed (it will not double).
8. Remove the plastic and brush the top with water.
9. Bake on the center rack for 40-45 minutes, until golden.
10. Let the bread rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving.
