1
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F or 43°C) and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3
Knead the Dough
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

5
Prepare Fillings
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Add the diced jalapeños and shredded Monterey Jack cheese to the dough.
6
Incorporate Fillings
Gently fold the fillings into the dough until evenly distributed. Be careful not to over-knead.

7
Shape the Loaf
Shape the dough into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls as desired. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8
Second Rise
Cover the shaped dough with a cloth and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
9
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
10
Bake
Once the dough has risen, bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

11
Cool
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
12
Serve
Slice the Jalapeno Cheddar Bread and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
