Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 whole Fresh jalapeno peppers (seeded and finely diced)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Buttermilk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until evenly combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until the batter just comes together. Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough texture.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
