Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup room-temperature water
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Flavor:
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced fresh or pickled jalapenos
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Dough: In a large bowl, mix active sourdough starter with water until combined. Add all-purpose flour and salt, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- 2. Add Flavor: Gently fold in shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overworking the dough.
- 3. Bulk Fermentation: Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 4-6 hours, until it has puffed up.
- 4. Shape Your Loaf: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf. Place it seam-side down in a floured proofing basket or a bowl lined with parchment paper.
- 5. Final Proof: Cover the shaped loaf and let it rest for another hour while preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- 6. Bake It Up: Carefully transfer your loaf onto a baking stone or sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top. Serve warm.
