Jalapeno Cheddar Sourdough Made Easy 10 Minute Recipe

Video Description

A freshly baked Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough Loaf. This crusty artisan bread is loaded with sharp cheddar cheese and spicy jalapeños for incredible flavor! . It’s made using our pre-fermented 36% whole wheat base dough from the 10-Minute Sourdough Made Easy method – meaning less than 10 minutes of actual work for a bakery-quality result . We use a no-knead, no-stretch-and-fold, no-levain technique, so there’s no complicated steps or babysitting the dough – truly a no-fuss sourdough anyone can try! No Knead Required: Minimal mixing, no laborious kneading or folding needed – the dough develops flavor on its own. Quick Prep: About 10 minutes of hands-on time yields a bakery-worthy loaf, with overnight fermentation doing the rest. Whole Wheat Goodness: 36% whole wheat flour brings extra hearty flavor and nutrition to the bread while keeping the loaf light. Versatile Base: One master dough can make many loaves – this jalapeño cheddar is just one of a series of creative sourdough variations! In the video, we demonstrate how to incorporate these savory inclusions during the shaping stage. After the initial rise, the dough is gently turned out and stretched slightly. We then layer on diced jalapeños, chunks of sharp cheddar cheese, and a generous sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. By rolling up the dough (or folding it over), we lock these tasty additions inside, creating beautiful swirls of cheese and pepper throughout the loaf. Everything bagel seasoning adds a fantastic garlicky, seedy crunch that “combines the savory goodness of everything bagel seasoning with the rich delight of cheddar cheese”– a perfect complement to the spicy jalapeños. Next, we shape the dough into a tight boule (round loaf) and let it go through its final proof. Before baking, the loaf is scored – we slash an attractive pattern on top to allow for expansion and give the finished bread an appealing look. Then it’s into the oven. We bake until the crust turns a deep golden brown and the cheddar starts to bubble and crisp at the edges. The kitchen smells amazing as it bakes – the aroma of roasted jalapeños is vibrant and fresh, and the cheddar really “steals the spotlight” with its toasty, melted goodness. Once it’s out of the oven, we can hardly wait to slice in and see the results! Crumb shot of the Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough, showing melted cheddar pockets and jalapeño pieces. The moment of truth: the crumb reveal! As you can see, the inside of this loaf is airy and tender, with gorgeous pockets of melted cheddar and bits of jalapeño pepper dotted throughout. The cheese has melted into the dough and the jalapeños have infused it with a perfect kick of heat. Every slice is loaded with tangy sourdough flavor and a balance of spicy and savory notes – the salty cheese evens out the chile heat, making each bite irresistibly delicious “to make those tastebuds dance”! This flavorful bread is incredibly versatile. It’s perfect alongside a bowl of chili or soup, makes a next-level grilled cheese sandwich, or you can simply enjoy it on its own as a savory snack. The combination of spicy jalapeños and gooey cheddar in a tangy sourdough loaf is a total crowd-pleaser.
