Skip the bakery and make this easy artisan Jalapeno Cheese Bread at home. Just 6 ingredients is all that is needed for this easy homemade artisan bread!
I was taking my kids to the park last week and made a quick stop at the grocery store beforehand to catch a sale on cereal. (Our house might be full of cereal addicts). I was hungry and hadn’t packed myself a snack so I bought a jalapeno cheese bread from the bakery. I felt a little silly paying 69 cents for it when I knew I could easily make it at home. So what did I do? I ate the 69 cent one and promptly went home to make 3 loaves myself. My husband was convinced I was going to give them away and wanted to make sure we got some for ourselves. Only 1 loaf got given away. Call me selfish!
We took the loaves up to a local park called “Double Peak” that has the most wonderful view. You can see for miles. You have wonderful mountain views as well as lagoon and ocean views. It is heavenly. We soaked in the views while eating our bread and then played on the three section teeter totter. If you ever have the chance to play on a three section teeter totter I highly recommend it. Seriously, it is pretty dang cool. Pure craziness. As for the bread? You should totally try that too. Delish man!

I have made this bread several times since my last post and have figured out the bread thing! We love this spicy bread and I think I may try adding some diced jalapenos to the batter.
I read a very good article about temping baked goodies. It has helped me avoid cutting in a doughy loaf of bread.
Your recipes have turned me into a really good cook! Thanks!
I have made this bread a couple of times and struggle with it being doughy I believe because I need to make adjustments for altitude. I live at 6000 ft. half the year and sea level the other half. After doing some research, the next time I make it I will reduce the yeast and manipulate the flour/water ratio. In spite of my struggles, the flavors are really good!
This was absolutely delicious. I made it with some jalapeños from a jar but next time I am going to use fresh. Nevertheless it was delicious. It was so easy = thx
We tried this and it was really good. I brought it to a party and it was all eaten up immediately with several people taking seconds. It’s a great bread to serve with soup or chili. Perfect for sopping up the remains in your bowl without falling apart.
For an inexperienced cook, you need to tell them to prepare the yeast according to it’s preparation directions. The salt kills the yeast. It needs to be proofed and then it can be added. Otherwise, the dough will never rise.
That’s not true. Salt doesn’t kill yeast, it simply slows down the growth. Modern yeast like instant dry yeast and active dry yeast (like the recipe calls for) doesn’t have this problem and there’s no need to proof it.
I followed the directions you gave. It seems to be rising now. But it took over three hours. I added a couple of towels on top of the one I started with. So, slowly but surely. Thanks.
The bread still looked almos raw. Maybe add the cheese and jalapeño during the last 10 minutes of baking so the dough has time to bake.
I’m not sure what you are looking at, but it definitely wasn’t almost raw.
