A deliciously fluffy loaf of jalapeno cheese bread. This recipe was crafted by Victoria Moore and is the softest loaf of bread from the bread machine that you've likely ever tried. With shredded sharp cheddar and freshly sliced jalapenos, you're going to swoon over the rich and combination of flavors and the soft texture.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup warm water (90-95°F)
  • 1/3 cup warm milk (90-95°F)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1.5 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup sliced jalapenos

Directions

  1. 1

    Put all ingredients except for the sliced jalapenos and shredded cheese into the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Usually, this means adding the wet ingredients, then the flour (spread out), with the dry ingredients on top.

  2. 2

    Set the bread machine to the “white” loaf setting.

  3. 3

    Select the light crust setting.

  4. 4

    Select the 1.5 lb loaf size.

  5. 5

    Turn on the bread machine.

  6. 6

    When the machine beeps during the kneading cycle, it’s time to add your cheese and jalapenos! (Reserve a small amount of the shredded cheddar and sliced jalapenos to add to the top of the loaf later). This is a great time to check the consistency of the dough. Please see the notes above for more information, but basically, you don’t want the dough to be too wet or too dry. I usually add a light dusting of flour at this point, but you may not have to.

  7. 7

    Keep an eye on your dough during the proofing cycle. This recipe is very active and alive compared to many bread machine recipes. You will likely need to punch the dough down once or twice during this period. Do not twist or mess with the dough too much. Simply punch it down lightly to release the trapped gasses.

  8. 8

    Remove the paddle(s) if applicable.

  9. 9

    When the baking cycle begins, add the reserved sliced jalapenos and shredded cheese to the top of the loaf.

  10. 10

    When the bread machine beeps, it’s done! Carefully remove the loaf pan using an oven mitt, by twisting and lifting upwards. Remove the loaf and allow it to cool on a cooling rack.

  11. 11

    Once cooled, slice the bread using a bread knife, and enjoy with fresh cultured butter, or make a grilled cheese!
