Hi Reader,
Cinco de Mayo is coming up, and if you’re planning something festive (or just craving bold flavors), I’ve got a bread that might steal the show.
It starts with sourdough discard, but turns into something way more exciting. And if you don’t keep a starter, no worries - you can still make it (check the Recipe Notes for the easy swap).
This Sourdough Jalapeño Cheddar Bread is packed with pickled jalapeños for a gentle kick, sharp cheddar for richness, and just enough sourdough tang to keep things interesting. Baked until golden and just a little crisp on the edges, it’s cheesy, a little spicy, and the kind of bread you keep slicing “just one more piece” of.
Warm from the oven with butter melting into every nook, this is the bread that quietly steals the spotlight, whether it’s next to a bowl of chili or all on its own!
Why this recipe works:
- Cheddar and jalapeños layered throughout (so every bite delivers)
- An easy shaping method that gives you those beautiful, bakery-style swirls
Give it a try, and don't forget to leave a rating!
