Instructions
- Feed your sourdough starter 12 hours before mixing the dough.

- Let the dough rest for 1 hour.
- Add salt to the remaining 30 grams of water, stir to dissolve, and add to the dough.
- Perform 3 sets of stretch and folds at 30-minute intervals over 1.5 hours, adding cheese and jalapeños during the second set.
- Cover the dough and let it rise for 2-3 hours at room temperature.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, shape it into a ball, and place it in a floured proving basket.
- Let it rise for another 2-3 hours at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 36 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F with the Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes.
- Score the dough and bake it in the Dutch oven at 450°F for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes.
- Allow the bread to cool on a rack for 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active before beginning.
- Using a Dutch oven helps create a steamy environment for better crust.
- Cooling time is essential for flavor development.
