My favourite bread recipe: jalapeños and cheese sourdough #recipe #baking

Baking method and recipe ⬇️

One of my favorite bread recipes is cheddar and jalapeno sourdough, baked in my trusty Dutch oven. It’s a combination of tangy cheese and spicy peppers that adds a lot of flavor. Here’s a simple guide on how to make it:

1️⃣ Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to the highest temperature (275°C) and let it preheat for at least 30 minutes. This ensures that your Dutch oven is hot enough for a good oven spring.

2️⃣ Score the Bread: Before baking, score your dough with a bread lame at a slight angle. This helps create a beautiful ear and allows the bread to expand properly in the oven.

3️⃣ Bake in the Dutch Oven: Use the handles of a silicone bread mat to transfer your dough into the hot Dutch oven. Bake with the lid on for 30 minutes at 250°C. This traps steam and creates a nice, crispy crust.

4️⃣ Finish Baking: After 30 minutes, remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes. This helps to achieve a golden brown, crunchy crust.

Ingredients: I used only one type of flour - a white flour with 13% protein. You can add a little wholemeal flour if you want. Make sure that your starter is active and bubbly before using. I prefer to use mine just when it is starting to drop. 400g flour, 300g water, 80g starter, 8g salt and as many pieces of cheddar and jalapenos you can fit

I am really struggling with my starter... It collapsed and smelled terrible. This is my third attempt at it! Learning process for sure lol
