Combine all ingredients (except the cheese) and knead (using your favorite method) until well combined and gluten is starting to develop. Drizzle a zip-top bag with a little bit of olive oil, transfer the dough to the bag, and close the bag. Refrigerate over night. The next day, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it warm up on the counter for an hour. Preheat the oven to 400°F and flour your work surface. Turn out the dough and knead it briefly, then stretch and cajole it to fit a baking sheet. Cover it with plastic wrap or use another baking sheet of the same size as a "lid" for te pan. Set aside to rise until it feels soft and puffy - about an hour. Top the bread with the cheese and bake at 400°F until the bread is browned and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Check the underside of the bread to make sure it's browned and as crisp as you like it. Remove the bread from the pan as soon as you can handle it and place it on a rack so the bottom doesn't get soggy as it cools.
