Steps:
- Combine all of the ingredients and pour into a greased 9" X 13" baking pan. You may want to add chopped jalepeno for extra zip. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes and ENJOY.
Tips:
- Proof the yeast: Before using the yeast, proof it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. This will help ensure that the yeast is active and will help the bread rise properly.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Cold ingredients can slow down the rising process, so make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and chewiness. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F (24-29°C). You can place the dough in a warm oven turned off, or in a warm spot in your kitchen.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it has a golden brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
