This is a spicy and easy to make bread in your bread machine. It goes great with chili or any meal with a Mexican or Creole foundation. You can either use fresh jalapenos chopped, or canned jalapenos that you chop. What’s important is to make sure you strip the seeds from the jalapenos. The seeds are the hottest part of any pepper. If you like it really hot -leave the seeds.
You can also reserve some chopped jalapenos to top the loaf after the rise cycle and before the baking cycle begins in the bread machine. Do this quickly and close the lid and leave closed throughout the baking cycle. You also have options with the cheese ingredient. We’re recommending Cheddar but any cheese will do as long as you stick to the ½ cup portion size. However, you can also sprinkle some reserved shredded cheese on top when you top the reserved jalapenos, but once again – do this quickly or the rise in the loaf may fall.
Add ingredients according to the bread machine pan in the order indicated in the ingredients section of the recipe. After the rise cycle, quickly top the loaf with the reserved jalapeno slices and quickly close the lid for the rest of the baking cycle.
Set your machine to basic white bread, 1.5-pound loaf and dark crust. When done, let rest for 10 minutes and slice and serve.
