Equipment

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
    3 cups all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • Add water and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
    1 ½ cups lukewarm water
  • Fold in the diced jalapeno and shredded cheese.
    1 jalapeno, 1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
  • Cover the bowl with greased plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator for 12 to 18 hours (making the night before works really well).
  • Place a 5 quart Dutch oven with the lid in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Once the oven reaches 450F, continue to heat the Dutch oven for 30 minutes.
  • Carefully take the Dutch oven out of the oven and grease the bottom with nonstick spray. Uncover the dough and turn the dough into the Dutch oven.
  • Add sliced jalapenos on top of the dough.
    1 jalapeno
  • Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to bake for another 5 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  • Let the bread cool in the pot to room temperature before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Flour: I’ve used all-purpose flour in this recipe. However, I've also used bread flour as all-purpose flour doesn’t have quite as much chew, but if you don’t have bread flour, all-purpose flour will work well.
  • Salt: The salt helps to flavor the loaf of bread. Feel free to decrease the salt to 1 teaspoon if need be.
  • Yeast: You can use an equal amount of active dry yeast in place of the instant yeast.
  • Lukewarm water: The water should be about 80F.
  • Cheddar cheese: I like to use sharp cheddar cheese for the most flavor.
