Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 whole Fresh jalapeno peppers (seeded and finely diced)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Buttermilk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until evenly combined.

Step 3

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until well blended.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until the batter just comes together. Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough texture.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
