I’ve been inspired lately by my bread making expertise. Ok, not really. I’m not an expert and my successes are few and far-between. But I have been really happy with how great my last few loaves have turned out. Like this bread machine jalapeno cheese bread. I make the dough in my bread machine, then roll it out, shape it, and let it rise again. Finally, into the oven and before long, it’s done! Oh and does it smell amazing while it’s baking? You bet! It smells almost as great as it tastes!
Easy. Even For Me.
I’ve proven to myself too many times before that I should not make dough by hand. I get frustrated with it. So, I let the bread machine do it. This jalapeno cheese bread is not too spicy, and not too cheesy, but just right. And it has the perfect texture for sandwiches. There’s no reason to have bland bread when you can make flavorful bread so easily.
Try Some Delicious Substitutions
I think you could substitute just about anything for the jalapenos and the cheese in your bread machine jalapeno cheddar bread. Chopped roasted poblanos and pepper jack cheese would make for a great combination. As would diced green chiles (drained very well first) and Monterey jack cheese. The options are pretty much endless.
Just don’t use any ingredients that are extremely moist. Wet ingredients will cause the dough to be too wet. Too wet to rise. You won’t get that wonderful texture.
If you can’t find fresh jalapenos, canned or jarred pickled jalapeno instead. Drain them really well first. Then give them a little chop. You can keep them as chunky as you want or as small. It’s your choice!
