Step by Step Method
Step 1
Prepare a heavy-duty stand mixer with a kneader blade.
Step 2
Proof yeast in water with 1 teaspoon sugar for 8-10 minutes, or until foamy (if the yeast does not foam discard and start over).
Step 3
Heat milk in the microwave for about 50 seconds on HIGH
Step 4
In the stainless steel bowl add in 4 cups flour, chopped jalepenos, salt, sugar, egg, hot pepper sauce (if using) and warmed milk.
Step 5
After the yeast has proofed, add to the bowl and start kneading, adding in more flour as needed to create a soft smooth semi-sticky dough, keep kneading for about 5 minutes (stopping the machine after about 5 minutes of kneading and allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes, then continue kneading process)..
Step 6
Towards the end of the kneading add in the cubed cheddar cheese, and mix until combined (the dough can be removed from the bowl and you can add/mix in the cheese by hand if desired).
Step 7
After the kneading, let the dough sit out on a board or counter top to rest covered with a clean tea towel for 8-10 minutes.
Step 8
Gather up dough and knead gently for 30 seconds.
Step 9
Then place the dough in a well greased bowl, and let rise until doubled (about 1-1/2 hours or could take a little longer).
Step 10
Punch down dough and slice into two even pieces.
Step 11
Shape into two large balls, and place on a cookie/baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Step 12
Cover with a clean tea towel and rise again for another 1 hour or more until doubled.
Step 13
Brush tops with an egg white that has been mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water.
Step 14
Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
