The Jalapeño Cheddar Hype Is Real—and I'm Not Mad About It

You know how some flavors just hit different? For STUpendous Sourdough, that flavor is jalapeño cheddar. And lately, it’s all anyone wants to talk about.

Seriously—I could bake a hundred loaves and still not keep up with the love this spicy, cheesy beauty is getting. And honestly? I totally get it.

A Flavor That Speaks for Itself

This isn’t your average swirl of cheese and pepper. The dough is my classic, slow-fermented sourdough: chewy, tangy, naturally leavened. And then comes the heat.

Sharp cheddar melts right into every layer, while chopped jalapeños sneak into the crumb like little flavor bombs. The crust? Slightly blistered, golden, and sometimes with that crispy cheese edge that’s basically a reward for being alive.

It’s bold. It’s vibrant. It’s got personality.Just like the people who keep coming back for it.

People Are Talking—and Raving

“I don’t even like spicy, but THIS??”“This is the best bread I’ve ever had.”“Do you have more of the jalapeño cheddar today?”“I'm hiding this from my husband.” (actual quote.)

I’ve heard it all. And every time someone lights up while eating it, my heart does a little sourdough rise of its own.

People are requesting it by name. Fighting over the last mini loaf. Telling friends about “this bread that changed my grilled cheese game forever.”

I knew it was good. I didn’t know it was iconic.

So I’m listening. And baking.
