Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water (110°F)
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2–3 fresh jalapenos, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Activate the yeast by mixing it with warm water and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then create a well in the center. Pour in the yeast mixture, olive oil, and jalapenos; mix until combined.
Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down, shape into a loaf, and allow to rise again for another hour.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack for added spice.
Adjust jalapeno amounts based on your heat preference.
