Description

This Vegan Jalapeño Cheese Artisan Bread is a rustic, no-knead bread infused with dairy-free cheese and spicy jalapeños. It has a crispy crust, fluffy interior, and just the right amount of heat, making it perfect for sandwiches, dipping, or enjoying on its own.


Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)

• 1 ½ teaspoons salt

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• ½ teaspoon instant yeast

• 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• ½ cup dairy-free shredded cheese (cheddar-style or mozzarella)

• 1-2 fresh jalapeños, finely diced (remove seeds for less heat)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

• Extra flour for dusting


Instructions

1. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar, yeast, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in warm water and olive oil, stirring until a sticky dough forms.

3. Incorporate Mix-Ins: Fold in shredded vegan cheese and diced jalapeños.

4. First Rise: Cover with plastic wrap or a towel and let rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours (overnight).

5. Shape the Dough: After rising, turn the dough onto a floured surface. Gently shape it into a round loaf. Let rest for 30 minutes.

6. Preheat the Oven: While the dough rests, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven or heavy pot with a lid inside to heat.

7. Bake the Bread: Carefully transfer the dough into the hot Dutch oven. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.

8. Finish Baking: Remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

9. Cool & Serve: Let cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy warm or toasted!

Notes

• Use a Dutch oven for best results—it creates steam for a crispy crust.

• For a spicier loaf, add more jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

• Substitute gluten-free flour to make this a GF recipe (adjust water as needed).

• Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
