JALAPENO CHEESE BREAD



Jalapeno Cheese Bread image

A rich and spicy bread!

Provided by DeeDee Henderson

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
¾ cup minced jalapeno peppers
½ cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 cups hot water
3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a very large bowl, combine 7 cups of flour, cheese, jalapenos, 7 tablespoons sugar and the salt; mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the water, yeast and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Let sit about 10 minutes; stir until all yeast is dissolved.
  • Add the oil to the liquid mixture, stirring . Add half of the liquid mixture to the flour mixture. Mix with hands to moisten flour as much as possible. Add remaining liquid mixture to dough and mix until flour is thoroughly incorporated.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and elastic to the touch, about 15 minutes, gradually adding only enough additional flour to keep dough from sticking.
  • Place in a large greased bowl and invert dough so top is greased; cover with a dry towel and let stand in a warm place (90 - 100F) until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down dough.
  • To Make Bread: Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Form each into a ball, then stretch out dough with both hands and tuck edges under to form a smooth surface. Pop any large air bubbles by pinching them. Form into loaves. (Note: I like to use a rolling pin and roll out dough, which pops all bubbles easily and quickly.) Place in 3 greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Cover with towel again and allow to rise until almost doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) until dark brown and done, about 1 hour, rotating the pans after 25 minutes for more even browning. Remove from pan as soon as bread will easily lift out, after about 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool about 1 hour before slicing.

DUTCH-OVEN JALAPEñO CHEDDAR BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Dutch-Oven Jalapeño Cheddar Bread Recipe by Tasty image

Impress your friends with this homemade dutch-oven bread. Bread-making can be time consuming but this recipe uses active yeast to help speed up the process. And with cheddar and jalapeño involved, you know you're in for a treat.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Sides

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ½ cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
2 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
2 jalapeñoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 jalapeño, sliced into rings, divided
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 cups warm water
2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 dutch oven with lid
silicone spatula, if you don't have one, you can use your slightly moistened hand

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, 2 cups (200 g) of cheddar cheese, the chopped jalapeños, and salt. Stir well.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Pour the flour mixture on top of the water and use a silicone spatula to stir until the dough comes together.
  • With the spatula, fold the dough around the edges of the bowl toward the center, rotating the bowl each time and folding a total of 8 times. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place for 60 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
  • Using the spatula, fold the dough toward the center again 8 more times. Cover with the towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Add the Dutch oven and lid to the oven, and preheat to 450˚F (230˚C) for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly flour a clean work surface and your hands. Carefully peel the dough out of the bowl and onto the floured surface. Flip over and carefully brush away excess flour. Fold the edges of the dough towards the center 8 times, then flip over the dough and transfer to a piece of parchment paper.
  • Brush the top of the dough with the olive oil, so the cheese will stick. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup (50 g) of cheese on top. Use a sharp knife to score the bread with an "X", which will allow steam to escape. Arrange the jalapeño rings on top of the cheese.
  • Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven and use the parchment to lift the bread into the pot. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for 20 more minutes, until the bread is golden brown.
  • Carefully slide the bread out of the pot and onto a wire rack. Remove the parchment paper and let the bread cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
  • Slice the bread and serve as desired.
  • Enjoy!

4g Dry instant yeast
½ tbsp Salt
1 ½ tbsp Olive Oil
45g Jalapenos (chopped)
150ml Lukewarm Water

Steps:

  • Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl, ensuring that the salt and yeast are separate from one another
  • Make a small well in the centre of the dry mixture and add the Water and Oil
  • Combine the mixture until a sticky dough is formed
  • Remove the dough from the large bowl and place it on the lightly floured surface
  • Knead the dough for a maximum of 10 minutes, flouring the surface further as required
  • Shape the dough into a ball and place in a well-oiled bowl
  • Cover the bowl with cling film and leave it to rest for an hour or until the dough has doubled in size
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, knock it back and rollout to form a rectangle with a rough length of 30cm
  • Spread the chopped Jalapenos evenly over the dough, ensuring there is a minimum of a 1cm gap between this and the edges of the dough
  • Sprinkle the grated hard cheese over the Jalapenos
  • Fold in each edge of the dough to ensure the filling doesn't escape when rolling

  • Add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the batter for a subtle sweetness that complements the spiciness of the jalapeños.
  • If you like a cheesy bread, stir in a cup of grated cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese into the batter before baking.
  • Brush the top of the bread with melted butter before baking for a golden brown crust.
  • Serve jalapeño bread warm with softened butter, cream cheese, or your favorite dipping sauce.
