Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Sharp Wisconsin cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 3 pieces Fresh jalapeños (seeded and diced)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder to evenly combine the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded Wisconsin cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños until distributed evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy this bread warm or at room temperature, paired with butter or your favorite spread!
