Description
A comforting artisan bread featuring tangy sourdough, spicy jalapeños, and rich cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water (240g)
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter (120g)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt (11g)
- 3 cups flour (425g)
- 1 cup jalapeños, chopped
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Mix the water and sourdough starter until well combined.
- Add the flour and salt into the bowl, mixing until you have a shaggy dough.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Perform 3 sets of stretch and folds every 30 minutes.
- Add 1/4 of the chopped jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese on the last stretch and fold, then continue adding the remaining jalapeños and cheese in quarters.
- Cover the dough once more and let it rise for about 4-5 hours, until it has roughly doubled in size.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Shape the dough by pulling each corner over and into the center, creating a round loaf.
- Line a banneton basket with a tea towel and flour it generously.
- Place the shaped dough seam-side up in the banneton and cover it.
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F, placing a Dutch oven inside to heat up.
- Remove the Dutch oven after heating, turn the dough onto parchment paper, and score the top.
- Bake with the lid on for 20 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
