After the busyness of the past few weeks, I got to spend all day in my kitchen doing something I love, Sourdough!! By now most of you all should know that I love to create recipes using sourdough starter. There is something so rewarding about taking flour, water, and salt and creating a warm crusty loaf of bread. Best of all, most of my family enjoys eating the recipes I create. Tonight this bread was served with Southwestern Chicken and Bean Soup for the men and I also made Beefy Cabbage Soup for myself.

You will find many more recipes in the spiral bound 600+ page Around the Family Table Cookbook and the hard cover spiral bound It’s all About Sourdough. All recipes are sugar-free and label with the correct fuel. Books can be purchased using this link.  We have now added additional items to our store… Sourdough Starter Kits and more. Buy It Now.

No-knead Jalapeno Cheddar Sourdough Bread THM-E

• 1 cup sourdough starter
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1 seeded diced jalapeno
• 1/3 cup low-fat or fat-free cheddar cheese
• 2 1/3 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• In a large mixing bowl, stir starter, water, jalapenos, cheese, flour, and gluten together until combined. You will have a rough, sticky dough. Allow dough to rest 20 minutes. Add salt. Mix well. Cover and allow it to rise for 1 hour. Remove lid and gently pick up one side of the dough, fold it in half. Repeat with all four sides of dough. Cover and allow to rise for another hour. Repeat 2 more times for a total of 4 folding times. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 12 hours or longer. Remove dough from the refrigerator. Fold dough in 3rds, pinching the edges together to seal the edges. Turn dough and fold in 3rds, pinching to seal edges. Line the bottom of the clay baker with parchment paper or foil. Place loaf seam side down in a clay baker. Cover. Allow loaf to warm to room temperature for 1 1/2  hours. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the lid from the baker and fill with water. Allow the water to soak the lid for 10 minutes. Slash the loaf with a sharp knife. Empty the water from the lid and place it on the clay baker. Place the covered baker into the hot oven. Set the timer for 35 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes. Remove clay baker from oven. Remove loaf to a wire rack to cool. 12-14 slices.
• 2 slices of bread are considered an E category and 1 slice an S-helper under THM guidelines. There are 8 grams of fat in the entire recipe. This would still be an THM-E category.
• To be plan approved for THM sourdough items made with sourdough starter needs a 7 hours room temp ferment OR 24 hour fridge ferment. You can combine room and fridge temp, also. 1 hour room temp equals 3.5 hours in the fridge.
• THE 7 HOUR FERMENTING TIME IS COUNTED FROM THE TIME YOU MIX THE DOUGH UNTIL YOU BAKE IT.

White Whole Wheat Flour is a 100% percent whole grain flour made from hard white spring wheat. It is lighter in color and taste than the traditional whole grain flour.

King Arthur Flours can be found in many supermarkets across United States. These flours are a very high quality since they are never bleached or bromated. This company sources their wheat from US farms.

Vital Wheat Gluten is an important ingredient in whole grain baking.

I love my Danish Dough Whisk. It is used when I feed my starter and when I mix and kind of sourdough breads.

Parchment paper is a baker’s friend. I keep a box here at all times.

This WUSTHOF bread knife cuts sourdough bread like a charm…it is by far the best knife I have had for bread.
