Happy National Sourdough Bread Day. After a long and punishing sourdough hiatus for Pausita (the starter), I finally jumped on the jalapeño-cheddar bandwagon. The oven spring on the batard was disappointing but at least it had an ear. The upside (apart from taste) was that the loaf was a dream to slice into, which yielded skinny slices that I often struggle to get with sourdough. This will be going with some Roasted Corn a & Tomato Soup.
