If you’re a sourdough enthusiast looking for your next flavor adventure, this Hot Honey Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough Loaf will quickly become a favorite. The tangy sourdough base is taken to new heights with melty sharp cheddar, fiery jalapeños, and a sweet drizzle of hot honey that adds a crave-worthy finish.
This loaf is the perfect balance of flavors: spicy, sweet, savory, and tangy. The jalapeños provide just enough heat without overpowering, while the cheddar melts into gooey pockets throughout the bread. The hot honey caramelizes slightly on the crust during baking, delivering an irresistibly crisp and golden finish.
Whether served with chili, toasted with butter, or used for an epic sandwich, this loaf brings bold flavor to your table. And the best part? It’s surprisingly simple to make if you’re already familiar with sourdough baking.
