Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups lukewarm water
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup finely diced fresh jalapeños
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, lukewarm water, and salt until mixed well.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour to form a shaggy dough.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1-2 hours).
- Punch down the risen dough gently, shape it into a round loaf, place it on parchment paper, cover again, and let it rise for another hour.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside. Carefully place the dough into the pot (score if desired), cover with the lid, and bake for about 30 minutes covered. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
