Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 medium Fresh jalapenos, finely chopped
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Let it cool slightly to lukewarm temperature.
Add the lukewarm milk and butter mixture to the yeast mixture. Stir in the egg and mix well.
Gradually add the flour, salt, and garlic powder, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Flatten the dough slightly with your hands and knead in the chopped jalapenos and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Place the dough into a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and shape it into a rectangle or round loaf. Place it on a greased baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan.
Cover again and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
