Jalapeno and cheddar Hmm-mm

Been obsessed with sweet flavoured sourdough recently, but came across ‘Jalapeno and cheddar’ combination and thought I needed to try this. And I love it! It’s probably my new favourite now. The cheese I used all melted in the oven and gave me fake open crumb haha

And I reduced salt a little bit thinking to mix some parmesan ground in during the lamination folding, and I completely forgot about it 😂. Surprised that the bread tasted alright. Thanks to the cheddar I guess?
