Cheesy Jalapeno Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1 packet active yeast
2 cups warm water
1 tbsp salt
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 large jalapeños diced
1 large jalapeno sliced
Directions:
- Start by added your yeast to a bowl an pouring in 2 cups of warm water. Let sit for a few minutes until yeast starts to bubble.
- In another bowl, add flour and salt, mix then make a little well in the middle and pour in the yeast/water mixture, diced jalapeno and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
- I always start by folding everything over with my spatula and then when it gets too tough I knead very gently with my hands!
- Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit for at least 2 hours. I usually let it sit for most of the day.
- Take dough out and knead it a few more times then in a clean bowl add oil and a sprinkle of flour. Set the dough back in the bowl and let sit for 1 more hour.
- Once you’re ready to bake, put your dutch oven in oven and let it preheat at 450 for 30 minutes.
- Take your bread out of it’s bowl, lightly knead it, score it then add more shredded cheese and sliced jalepeno on top to decorate.
- Carefully put the bread in the very hot dutch oven and cook covered for 30 minutes. When the timer goes off, cook for 15 more minutes. Sometimes I want the cheese crispier so you can leave it in for an extra 10 minutes if needed.
- Enjoy!
I hope you loved this easy bread recipe! It’s become a true hit with my family and I seriously love it! You can just make a regular loaf by omitting the jalpeno and cheese from it! If you liked this cheesy jalapeno bread recipe, check out more recipes here!
