Cheesy Jalapeno Bread Recipe

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I always start by folding everything over with my spatula and then when it gets too tough I knead very gently with my hands!
  4. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit for at least 2 hours. I usually let it sit for most of the day.
  5. 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.
  6. Once you’re ready to bake, put your dutch oven in oven and let it preheat at 450 for 30 minutes.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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!

The Best Chili Recipe

Fall to me is all about a warm dinner. I love to cook in fall because your meals can help to bring all the cozy fall vibes you are looking for. I actually used to not like chili at all but I am obsessed with this best chili recipe. It is super easy to make and the flavors are so good! This is perfect to pair with white rice or just eat it alone in a bowl.

Here’s the best chili recipe!

  • 1lb Ground Turkey
  • yellow onion
  • 1 can of Bush’s Chili Beans
  • 1 can of sweet corn
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • salt + pepper to taste

Directions:

  • Dice yellow onion and add to a big pot with ground turkey. Cook until turkey is browned and onions are translucent
  • Using paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt + pepper, season the turkey and onion mixture
  • Slowly mix in 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of corn (without the water), and 1 can of chili beans
  • Let mixture sit on low for 30 minutes and finish off by tasting and making sure it’s seasoned to your liking. Sometimes I add more of a seasoning here if I think it needs it!

This is the easiest recipe I have found for chili and it is literally so good! Like I said, sometimes I’l serve this on top of white rice if I am looking for a more filling meal. I also like to make corn bread on the side of this too because there’s nothing I love more than chili with cornbread!
