A flavorful twist on classic bread, combining cheddar cheese and jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Add the warm water to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Add the bread flour, sugar, and salt to the pan.
Layer the dry ingredients on top of the water to prevent premature yeast activation.
Sprinkle the yeast on top of the dry ingredients.
Make a small indent in the flour to place the yeast, avoiding contact with the liquid.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeños.
Distribute the cheese and jalapeños evenly for consistent flavor.
Set the bread machine to the Basic/White cycle with a Medium crust setting.
Refer to your bread machine manual for specific instructions.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure.
