Cheddar Jalapeño Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread

If you love bold, savory bread with just the right amount of heat, my Cheddar Jalapeño Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread is a must-bake. Made with sharp cheddar cheese, and fresh jalapeños, this loaf delivers a crisp crust, soft interior, and incredible depth of flavor—without gluten. Perfect for slicing, toasting, or serving alongside soups and chili, this artisan-style bread proves gluten-free sourdough can be just as satisfying as the traditional version. Whether you’re new to gluten-free sourdough or looking to elevate your next loaf, this recipe is guaranteed to impress.

Ingredients:

• 4 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded

• 2 Jalapeño Peppers, diced

Instructions:

1. Prep your sourdough loaf as normal per my sourdough instructions.

2. Wash and prep the jalapeño pepper and measure out your shredded cheddar cheese. You can use pre-shredded cheese, but if you can, shred your own! It will be so worth it!

3. When you get to the shaping step in the sourdough instructions, this is when you will add in your mix-ins.

   • Flatten the sourdough and sprinkle a small portion of the cheddar cheese & jalapeno pepper. Fold the dough and repeat. Sprinkle a portion of your filling onto the dough after each fold. Repeat 4 times or until the inclusions are well distributed.

4. Bake as normal!

Truly blown away by how good this loaf is! Amazing with tomato soup or used for a breakfast sandwich!
