Sourdough Loaf | 50 / 50 Cheese & Jalapeño

Bold, savoury, and full of character, our Cheese & Jalapeño sourdough loaf brings together rich flavour and a gentle warmth in every slice. Naturally leavened with our slow-fermented sourdough starter, this loaf has a beautifully textured crumb and a deep, developed flavour. Melted pockets of mature cheese run throughout, creating a savoury richness, while pieces of jalapeño add a subtle heat that builds softly without overpowering. The crust bakes to a golden finish, with hints of toasted cheese and a slight crispness that gives way to a soft, flavourful interior. Baked in small batches in our home bakery, using considered ingredients and traditional methods, this loaf is perfect for those who enjoy a little warmth and depth in their everyday bread.

Sourdough is a living bread, made slowly and without preservatives which means it naturally changes over time. If your loaf has become a little firm or lost its softness, it can often be gently revived.

To refresh your loaf

1. Wet the crust
   Run your loaf quickly under cold water. You don’t want to soak it, just a coating of water.

2. Warm in the oven
   Place directly onto the oven rack and bake at 180°C (160°C fan) for 5–10 minutes.

3. Allow to rest briefly
   Let the loaf sit for a few minutes after removing from the oven. The crust will crisp, and the inside will soften once more.
   

If you forgot about your loaf and your bread is more firm

If your loaf has gone past its best for slicing, it still has so much to offer:

• Tear into chunks for rustic croutons

• Slice and bake into breadcrumbs or stuffing

• Toast for a deeper, richer flavour

• Use for French toast or bread pudding
  
  Because our bread is made without additives, it’s best enjoyed within a few days but like all good things, it can be revived, repurposed, and appreciated in many forms.
