Step 1

Butter one slice of the bread and place it, buttered side down, in a skillet. Top the bread with the grated cheddar cheese and then dollop on the chili crisp.

Step 2

After that, layer the grated jack cheese over the chili crisp.

Step 3

Butter the other slice of bread and place it over the cheese layer, butter side up.

Step 4

Turn on the heat to medium low and grill the sandwich until the bread has browned. Flip the sandwich and brown the other side. The cheese should be melty and the outsides should be golden brown.

Step 5

Slice and serve.

Step 6

Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and leave out at room temperature for about 12 to 18 hours.

Step 7

Using a dough scraper, spatula, or bench knife, gently scrape the dough out onto a floured surface.

Step 8

Wet your hands and your dough scraper gently form the dough into a ball.

Step 9

Place the ball, seam side down, on your work surface and tuck the scraper under it all around to create tighten the loaf just a little.

Step 10

Line a 9 inch bowl or banneton basket with a tea towel and generously dust it with flour, bran, or a 50/50 mixture of wheat and rice flour.

Step 11

Tighten the dough ball and place it in the bowl, seam side up.

Step 12

Spray the top of the dough with spray oil and cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap. Let it sit for one to two hours.

Step 13

While the dough is proofing, place a large cast iron Dutch oven in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.

Step 14

Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven and remove the lid.

Step 15

First, remove the plastic wrap from the bowl, and top the dough with a piece of good quality parchment paper.

Step 16

Top the parchment with a dinner plate, and then flip the whole thing over.

Step 17

Remove the towel from the dough and lift the dough with the parchment paper and place it in the Dutch oven, leaving the parchment under the dough.

Step 18

Cover the pan and return it to the oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more, until the interior of the bread reaches 210 degrees. I transferred the partially baked loave to a baking sheet for the last 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 19

Cool completely on a wire rack.
