 sucsess with my experiment  what i did was add red jalapenos ,rosemary ,thyme and oregano to my sourdough and out comes some awesome bread , i like that hot stuff , hehe  

         here are some pics mmmmmmspicyspicynot to spicynot too spicy

    still useing those darn loaf pans ,  but hey i am a sandwich lover     

That looks so good!! I am a fan of the spicy too. I am still harvesting the Habanero right now. Would you share the recipe? Toasted with some real mozerella or havarti cheese.

here goes

300 gs sponge @ 100% hydration

20 gs sugar

5 gs salt

12 gs oil

1 egg, small

 155gs flour ,you may have to tweek the flour a bit

 then  i went to my garden and got 1 red jalapeno next time i'll use 2 hehe ,then grabbed a couple sprigs of thyme ,  a couple of oregano and 2 sprigs of rosemary, saved 1 for top garnish  and chopped them up and threw them in the sponge and made the bread. it worked really good , you can use italian seasoning if you have no fresh herbs on hand ,,about 1 Tablespoon  should do  hope you like it  i think its great  and have fun i did .

I will try to get to this one this week in the  baking frenzie!

can't wait till my sourdough starter is up and running......

Looks and sounds tasty! We have some hungarian wax, thai and habenero chilis in the garden. I've been looking for some way to use them all. This could be a start...

Great looking bread, warmouth. The addition of habeneros would certainly kick star any sandwich! I think I'll try this along with a bowl of chili. How long did you knead your loaves? Did you end up with a soft or 'chewy crumb?

 i like the heat of habeneros but not to much the flavor 

 and not long on the knead 4 or 5 mins then 3 stretch and folds   and the crumb is a little chewy
