Ingredients
Scale
500g bread flour
100g active sourdough starter
350g warm water
10g salt
1 cup roasted green chiles, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack for milder flavor)
Olive oil for greasing
Instructions
Mix flour, sourdough starter, and warm water in a large bowl until shaggy. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Add salt, then perform a series of stretch-and-folds every 30 minutes for 2 hours.
After the final stretch, gently fold in chopped green chiles and shredded cheese.
Transfer to a floured banneton or bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 475°F with Dutch oven inside. Place dough on parchment, score the top, and bake covered for 20 min, then uncovered for 20-25 min until golden and bubbly.
Notes
For a milder flavor, use Monterey Jack cheese instead of cheddar.
Ensure the chiles are well-roasted for the best flavor.
Allow the dough to ferment overnight for optimal taste.
