Notes
Notes:
- Feel free to sub sharp cheddar or white cheddar cheese if desired.
- To ferment, cover dough with plastic wrap and bake when you are ready.
- I use discard that is about 24 hours old for this recipe. The older the discard, the more tart the flavor.
- Experiment with the seasonings: add more or less cayenne as desired.
