Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 medium Jalapeño peppers (deseeded and diced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this will be: liquids first (milk and melted butter), followed by dry ingredients (sugar, salt, bread flour, yeast, garlic powder).

Step 2

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeño peppers on top of the dry ingredients, ensuring they don’t touch the yeast directly.

Step 3

Select the appropriate program on the bread machine for a 1.5-pound loaf of white or basic bread. Adjust the crust setting as desired (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.

Step 4

Allow the bread machine to knead the dough, incorporate the ingredients, and bake the bread. This process generally takes about 2.5–3 hours, depending on your machine.

Step 5

Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack. Let it cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

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