Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Warm water about 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons Salt
  • 3 cups Bread flour or all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
  • 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese shredded or cubed
  • 2 Jalapeños fresh or jarred, seeded and finely diced (leave some seeds for extra heat)

Optional topping:

  • extra cheddar cheese + a few jalapeño slices for garnish before baking

Instructions

  • In your bread maker pan, add water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Top with flour, then make a small well and add the yeast. Make sure you add the ingredients in this order! This layering helps the dough mix evenly.
  • Once the machine starts kneading (after a few minutes), sprinkle in the shredded cheddar and diced jalapeños.
  • Choose the Basic/White Bread setting and a medium crust color. For most machines, this will take about 3 hours.
  • About 10 minutes before the baking cycle ends, sprinkle extra cheese and sliced jalapeños on top of the dough and slightly press it in, to get that bakery-style look.
  • After the machine beeps and completes the baking process, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. And enjoy!

Be sure to check the post above for making the bread without a bread machine.
