Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 medium Fresh jalapenos, finely chopped
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Let it cool slightly to lukewarm temperature.

Step 3

Add the lukewarm milk and butter mixture to the yeast mixture. Stir in the egg and mix well.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour, salt, and garlic powder, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Flatten the dough slightly with your hands and knead in the chopped jalapenos and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Place the dough into a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch the dough down and shape it into a rectangle or round loaf. Place it on a greased baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover again and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
