🛒 Ingredients

To make this delicious Vegan Jalapeño Cheese Artisan Bread, you’ll need:

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Flavor Additions:

  • 1 cup vegan shredded cheese (cheddar-style works best)
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, sliced (remove seeds for less heat)

🍞 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Dough 🥣

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Gradually pour in warm water while stirring with a wooden spoon.
  3. Mix until a sticky dough forms (it will be very soft—this is normal!).
  4. Gently fold in vegan cheese and sliced jalapeños.
  5. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours (overnight is ideal). This slow fermentation develops the perfect artisan texture and flavor! 😍

2️⃣ Preheat & Prepare for Baking 🔥

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) about 30 minutes before baking.
  2. Place a Dutch oven (or a heavy oven-safe pot with a lid) inside to heat.

3️⃣ Shape the Dough 🍞

  1. Lightly flour a surface and transfer the dough onto it.
  2. Gently shape it into a round ball (don’t knead, just fold the sides under).
  3. Let it rest for 30 minutes while the oven heats.

4️⃣ Bake to Perfection 🌟

  1. Carefully place the dough into the preheated Dutch oven.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil for extra crispiness.
  3. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Take the bread out and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

🔥 Pro Tips for the Best Artisan Bread
