1 cup "fed" sourdough starter
3/4 cups lukewarm water3/4 cup salsa
3/4 cup cheddar cheese 2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 teaspoons salt 5 cups flour (I like unbleached white best for this recipe)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese for top
jalapeno slices for top
Directions
Combine all of the ingredients except for the top cheese
and jalapenos, kneading to form a smooth dough. You might
need to add more water or flour depending on the consistency
of your starter.
Allow the dough to rise, in a covered bowl, until it's doubled
in size, about 90 minutes.
Divide the dough in half; it'll deflate somewhat.
Shape the dough gently into two oval loaves;
Place the loaves on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and
let rise about 1 hour. Towards the end of the rising time
preheat the oven to 425°F.
Spray the loaves with lukewarm water. Sprinkle with
1/2 cup cheddar cheese and decorate with a few jalapeno slices.
With a serrated bread knife or bread lame, make two or three
fairly deep slashes in each loaf.
Bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes, until it's a very deep
golden brown. Remove it from the oven, and cool on a rack.
