Description
A simple recipe for savory bread studded with spicy jalapenos and sharp cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh jalapenos (seeds removed for less heat)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapenos.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, use only half of the jalapenos.
- You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese for cheddar if desired.
- Brush the top with melted butter immediately after removing it from the oven for a softer crust.
