Bread Machine Jalapeno Bread
An easy to make, savory bread with a kick! This bread can be made with enough jalapenos to really get your taste buds going or just enough to achieve a delicious jalapeno flavor and not need a glass of water after. Topped off with a mouthwatering blend of jalapenos and pepper jack cheese, I guarantee you'll be coming back for more.
Servings: 15 slices
Equipment
- Bread Machine
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water warmed
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 2 tbsp Raw turbinado cane sugar
- 1/2 cup Pepper-jack or monterey jack cheese
- 6 tbsp Chopped jalapenos 3 tbsp for less spice
- 3 cups King Arthur organic unbleached bread flour
- 1/2 tbsp Active dry yeast
Instructions
- Start by mincing jalapenos and shredding the cheese. The set aside 1/3 of each of these ingredients to use at a later time.
- Warm water to approximately 115 degrees (I microwave it for a minute or until it is warm to touch but not too hot).
- Place ingredients into the bread machine in the order they are listed above.
- Choose the Basic Bread setting, medium color, and 1.5lbs and press start!
- Around 1 hour 30 minutes, the dough cycle will be done and it is time to top off the bread. Take the remaining jalapenos and cheese and sprinkle on top of the bread in the machine.
- Close the bread machine and let it finish cooking on its own.
- When it is finished, remove, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
Two things to note:
- Some individuals with a sulfite allergy (or dairy allergy, etc.) cannot have cheeses even in small doses. To make it without cheese, you can use 1/2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil as a replacement.
- This bread is delicious, but it makes a lot of servings and if you don't eat the whole loaf in 4 days (which is easier than you think), you're going to want to freeze half! It stays good in the freezer for up to 3 months and make sure you slice it before putting it into the freezer so you can defrost one piece at a time!
