Jalapeno Cheddar bread is an amazing bread by itself. But when you use it to make grilled cheese sandwiches, to dunk into tomato soup, or as your pizza crust, it takes it to a whole new level! I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

Just started the 30 minute rise. T made one with Peppers and one without. Can’t wait for them to be done. I’m tempted to refrigerate them and bake tomorrow. But I won’t. Pizza is my next project with this recipe. 😋

Making this now for the first time. Excited!! Your video says AP flour, recipe says Bread Flour. I’m using Bread Flour but curious, which gives you the best results?
Leisa says
Really, either one is great

The same way I did in the video. Brush the top of the loaf before the 2nd baking.

Hello Sutton Daze. I love your video’s. You have taught this newbie so much about how to preserve my food, and dehydrating. I’m disabled but I sit on my walker and do what makes me happy. Knowledge is power, and you have alot of us who’s doing this to feed our families. This bread will make a great chicken sandwich. I just canned some vegetable soup, yum yum. Anyway thanks so much for share your wisdom. Keep the video’s coming. Blessings from snowy Buffalo.
