Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the active dry yeast.
-
Slowly add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a dough forms.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeno peppers until well distributed.
-
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
