Best 3 Cheddar Jalapeño Bread Recipes

JALAPENO-CHEDDAR BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush an 8-by-4-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan with some of the melted butter.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar and 1/2 cup Cheddar in a large bowl.
• Pour the beer into a medium bowl. Add half of the remaining butter and whisk together (it will get foamy!).
• Pour the beer-butter mixture into the flour mixture and fold until just combined (it's ok if there are lumps). The batter will be relatively thick and shaggy. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and pat out into an even layer. Pour the remaining butter over the batter and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar and the jalapeno slices. Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 190 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan on a rack for about 15 minutes. Invert the bread out of the pan and eat warm or at room temperature.

CHEDDAR JALAPEñO BREAD

Steps:

• Stir together yeast and 1 tablespoon warm water in a small bowl; let mixture stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If it doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.)
• Mix together flour, salt, oil, yeast mixture, and remaining 1 3/4 cups warm water in bowl of mixer at low speed until a soft dough forms. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 3 minutes more. Add jalapeño, 1 1/2 cups Cheddar, and 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and mix until combined.
• Scrape dough down side of bowl (all around) into center, then sprinkle lightly with flour. Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) to keep a crust from forming and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. (Alternatively,let dough rise in bowl in refrigerator 8 to 12 hours.)
• Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface and gently form into a roughly 11- by 8-inch rectangle with floured hands.
• Fold dough in thirds (like a letter) with floured hands (dough will be sticky), pressing along seam of each fold to seal.
• Put dough, seam side down, in an oiled 9- by 5-inch loaf pan. Cover pan with same clean kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until dough completely fills pan and rises above it slightly, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
• Brush loaf with egg, then sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Cheddar and remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano down center of loaf.
• Bake until bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Run a knife around edge of pan to loosen loaf, then remove from pan to test for doneness.
• Return bread (not in pan) to oven and turn on its side, then bake 10 minutes more to crisp crust. Cool completely on a rack, about 1 1/2 hours.

JALAPENO, ONION, CHEDDAR FOCCACIA BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Grate cheese, dice onions, and slice jalapeno into rings, mix together and set aside.
• 2. Sift 3 c of flour into mixing bowl. Add sugar, salt, granulated garlic and powdered milk. Mix together.
• 3. Place water and oil in bread machine pan. Add flour mix, make an indention in the center of flour and place in yeast.
• 4. Place machine on DOUGH ONLY cycle. Once dough has formed a ball, start putting in the cheese mixture a little at a time until it is all mixed in with the dough. You may need to add a little flour if the dough seems too moist. The cheese breaks down and adds moisture.
• 5. Once it's all incorporated, let it finish kneading and rising.
• 6. After dough has risen and beeper sounds, remove and place in a oil sprayed 11x13 baking dish. Spread out dough with your hands, and poke your fingertips into the dough to make little "dimples". Cover with a towel and let rise to about double in size.
• 7. Once risen, bake at 400° for 20 minutes on middle rack of oven. Enjoy!
