How To Make No Knead Jalapeno Cheddar Bread

1. First off, grab all your ingredients and remember to remove the seeds from the Jalapenos if you don’t want it too fiery.
2. Combine your flour, salt, and yeast in a mixing bowl. Now, add warm water and stir everything until the mixture is just combined. It can look shaggy, we’re okay with that.
3. Now let’s get cheesy. Toss in your cheddar and chopped Jalapenos into the mixture. Mix everything until it’s nicely distributed.
4. Cover your dough and let it rest for 12 to 18 hours ��� patience is the key here.
5. Let’s get baking. Preheat your oven to 450��F (230��C) and put your dutch oven with lid in the oven.
6. Meanwhile, punch down the dough and shape it into a ball.
7. Take out your preheated dutch oven and drop the dough ball in. Cover it back up and bake for 30 minutes.
8. After the first 30 minutes of baking, uncover and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the bread is golden brown.

Tips For The Best Results

• Make sure your water is warm, not hot, to get the yeast activated properly.
• You may need to adjust the amount of jalapenos, depending on their size and spiciness.

Storage Tips
