Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams active sourdough starter
  • 350 grams warm water*
  • 50 grams sugar
  • 50 grams olive oil
  • 15 grams salt
  • 750 grams bread flour
  • 200 grams cubed cheese
  • 150 grams diced fresh jalapeños

Instructions
 

  • Mix starter, water, sugar, olive oil, salt, and 500 grams of the flour in a bowl. Add in the cheese and jalapeños.
  • Mix well, then add flour until the dough comes together decently but not smooth. If your starter is fed a little different, you may need a little different amount of flour than me.
  • Let it rest 20-30 minutes, then knead it gently until a uniform albeit lumpy dough comes together.
  • Let rise until doubled, about 6-8 hours in a warm house with happy starter.
  • Shape into two large or three smaller loaves. Can do loaf pans, baguettes or French bread.
  • Let rise until almost doubled then turn oven on to 375°F.
  • Give it a good slash on top.
  • Bake single loaf for 25 minutes, turn around and then another 20 minutes. For french bread it needs about 30 minutes total and baguettes 20 minutes. I always check the temperature of my loaves to make sure they are done. Aim for about 180°F in the center of the loaf.

Notes

  • *Use warm water if you are mixing in morning to bake by dinner, use cold water if you want to mix before bed to shape and bake in morning.
