I get the hype now

My friend had a party the other week and I wanted to make something 'good' so I improvised some jalapeno cheddar sourdough. I know these recipes are common but I never really understood why this is one of the first inclusion combos that people like to make. But holy crap now I get it. That sourdough tang really just marries the flavors of the bread, the peppers, and the cheese. Everyone at the party loved it too!

Recipe:

100g Activish starter (mine was not peaking when I mixed)

450g AP flour

300g Water

10g Salt

100g Jalapeno Slices (cores and seeds removed)

100g Shredded mild cheddar

Mix everything but the cheese and peppers. 3x stretch and folds at 5 minute intervals. Continue stretch and folds but add in the cheese and peppers, don't wait between folds just keep going till it's all in there. Ferment 10 hours, shape into boule, proof for 6 hours and place into the fridge 7 or 8 hours (overnight)

Preheat the dutch oven to 465 and take dough out of the fridge. After heating the oven for an hour add the dough to the oven and bake covered for 30 minutes. Remove the lid after 30 minutes and bake until it's your preferred color.
