Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 4 cups white bread flour flour ( more as needed)
- 2 large jalapeno peppers, coarsely chopped, and seeds removed (can use more or less or can use canned)
- 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature, let egg sit in hot water for about 5-7 minutes to warm)
- 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (optional)
- 3/4 cup milk, warmed in microwave for about 50 seconds (if you are adding in 2 tablespoons shortening or butter add it to the milk then microwave)
- 2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese ( chopped into about 1/2-inch cubes or a little larger if desired)
How to Make
-
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.
