Components & Alterations

The ingredients for cheesy jalapeño bread can be changed up to create a whole different loaf each time, however, the fundamental baking methods must stay the same for a proper rise and ideal texture.

CHEESE Although the flavor of sharp cheddar cheese provides the ideal counterpoint to the heat of the jalapenos, you can substitute your preferred cheeses. For an added kick, try a pepper jack cheese that is hot!

JALAPENOS We adore the fiery flavor that diced jalapenos add to this bread, but if you want to reduce the heat, be sure to remove all of the seeds (the seeds are what make it extremely hot).

It’s still too hot. Try substituting diced green chiles with jalapenos. You may also add a few red pepper flakes for flavor and some sliced black olives for color.

There are so many possible combinations, try something new!

Making Jalapeno Cheddar Bread

Making homemade bread is simple.

1. Prepare: After mixing the dough, let it rise for about two hours.
2. Mix-Ins: Split each loaf in half, roll each one out, top with cheese and jalapenos, and roll up.
3. Rise: Put prepared pans into the oven for about 30 minutes, then top with cheese and jalapenos.
4. Bake: Cook, then let the food cool completely before serving.

This bread can enhance the flavor and presentation of a sandwich or jalapeño popper grilled cheese, or it can stand alone as a snack with butter or cream cheese!

Slices should be cut into cubes and combined with olive oil in a big basin to make spicy croutons. Croutons should bake for about an hour at 300°F. The finest croutons ever can be added to a salad or tossed into a soup.

Tips to Success

The initial stage of creating the dough is the most crucial one for consistently producing beautiful loaves of bread.

• To assist in activating the yeast when it is added to the other ingredients, use lukewarm water.
• A constant rise, an uniform texture, and the additions evenly dispersed throughout the loaf will result from mixing, kneading, and resting.

Use the advice below to make sure the loaves are properly cooked without being overcooked and won’t crumble while being sliced.

• After the bread has come out of the oven, tap on the top to check for doneness. It ought to sound hollow.
• Before slicing, let the bread cool completely before removing it from the loaf pans so that it may firm up.

Cheddar-Jalapeno Bread

An easy cheese bread recipe with only a hint of heat is called jalapeno cheddar bread.

Ingredients for Jalapeno Cheddar Bread

• 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese grated & divided
• 3 small to medium jalapenos stems removed sliced into 1/8″ sliced rounds, divided

dough ingredients:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups semolina flour
• 3 teaspoon instant yeast
• 3 teaspoons kosher salt
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups lukewarm water

Instructions for Jalapeno Cheddar Bread

1. Using a strong wooden spoon, combine the dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer and whisk until a shaggy but cohesive dough forms.
2. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, either by hand or in a stand mixer with the dough hook. Form a tight circle of dough, return it to the bowl, and use a dough scraper to clean the surface of the bowl.
3. Wrapped in plastic, leave the dough to rise for about two hours in a warm, draft-free environment until it has doubled in size.
4. Two loaf pans should be sprayed with nonstick cooking spray before being put aside.
5. The dough should be split into two parts. Working with one piece of dough at a time, pat it into an oval, and then roll it into a rectangle that is roughly 8 x 14 inches using a rolling pin (20 x 36 cm).
6. Over the rectangle, scatter one-third of the jalapeo rounds and one-third of the shredded cheese.
7. From the short side, roll it up while keeping the dough tightly rolled up against itself to prevent additional stretching. Place seam-side down on the prepared pan, pinch the seams, and tuck the ends under. Continue by using the second piece of dough.
8. Distribute evenly over the tops of the two loaves the remaining grated cheese and jalapeo slices.
9. Allow it to rise for about 30 minutes in a warm, draft-free area, covered with a damp tea towel, until puffy.
10. Set the oven to 400°F as they rise. The loaves should be baked for 25 to 30 minutes, or until firm on top and deep golden brown.
11. After the bread has been taken out of the oven, allow it to cool in the pans for 3 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.
12. Before slicing and serving, it cools fully.
