Method

Add the cheese and nuts to the mixer bowl before beginning with step 6, and then continue with the master recipe. In a mixer fitted with the dough hook, beat the rested dough on a medium speed until it is smoother and more elastic, about 2 minutes more. Remove the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and turn it over so that the top is oiled. Press clingfilm against the surface
