In a medium bowl, combine the bread flour, chives, jalapeno, salt and cheese.
In a separate large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Pour the flour mixture on top of the water and use a silicone spatula to stir until the dough comes together.
With the spatula, fold the dough around the edges of the bowl toward the center, rotating the bowl each time and folding a total of 8 or 9 times.
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until almost doubled in size.
Using the spatula, fold the dough toward the center another 8-9 times. Allow the bread to rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and once preheated, add a Dutch oven with a lid to the oven. Meanwhile, lightly dust a clean working surface with flour. Carefully peel the dough out of the bowl and onto the floured surface. Flip over and fold the edges of the dough towards the center another 8-9 times, then flip over the dough and transfer to a piece of parchment paper.
Once the Dutch oven has warmed, remove from the oven and place the bread and parchment paper in the Dutch oven.
Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for 20 more minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
Once baked to perfection, slide the bread out of the pot and onto a wire rack. Allow the bread to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Slice the bread and serve as desired, enjoy!
