Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour I love King Arthur Flour for consistency
  • ¼ teaspoon instant yeast about 1 g
  • 1¼ teaspoons fine sea salt Kosher salt works, too
  • 1⅔ cups lukewarm water about 95°F
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar Sargento or Cabot
  • 2–3 fresh jalapeños seeded and diced (leave some seeds for extra heat)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for coating the dough

Instructions
 

  • Mix until evenly colored
  • Form a sticky shaggy dough
  • Cover and rest for 12–18 hours at room temperature
  • Shape into a ball and let rise for 1–2 hours
  • Preheat oven to 450°F with a Dutch oven inside
  • Bake in preheated Dutch oven for 30 minutes covered, then 10–15 minutes uncovered
  • Cool on a rack before slicing

Notes

For extra heat, use serrano peppers or leave jalapeño seeds in. Measure flour by spooning into your cup then leveling—no scooping!
