Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers (deseeded and diced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this will be: liquids first (milk and melted butter), followed by dry ingredients (sugar, salt, bread flour, yeast, garlic powder).
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeño peppers on top of the dry ingredients, ensuring they don’t touch the yeast directly.
Select the appropriate program on the bread machine for a 1.5-pound loaf of white or basic bread. Adjust the crust setting as desired (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.
Allow the bread machine to knead the dough, incorporate the ingredients, and bake the bread. This process generally takes about 2.5–3 hours, depending on your machine.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack. Let it cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
