    ingredients for jalapeno cheddar cheese beer bread

    Ingredients

    To make this jalapeno cheddar cheese bread, you need the following ingredients:

    • all purpose flour
    • baking powder
    • sugar
    • salt
    • beer- You want a lighter flavored beer. A strong flavored beer will over take the sweetness of the bread and the saltiness of the cheddar.
    • sharp cheddar cheese- The sharp cheddar will bring out the cheese flavor better than a mild cheddar.
    • pickled jalapenos- Fresh jalapenos are not as good in this recipe. Use the pickled jalapenos for a stronger jalapeno flavor.

    Steps to make jalapeno cheddar beer bread

    Follow these easy instructions on how to make jalapeno cheddar beer bread.

    1. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
    2. Fold in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and pickled jalapeno peppers reserving a few pickled jalapenos to add to the top of bread.
    3. Create a well in the center of flour mixture and pour beer into the center. Mix with spoon until the flour absorbs the beer being careful not to over mix. Dough will be sticky.
    4. Place dough into a greased loaf pan.
    5. Top dough with the remaining jalapeños and sprinkle on the remaining ½ cup of cheese.
    6. Bake at 350 for 60 to 65 minutes until bread is done.
    7. Remove from oven and allow bread to rest in pan for 5 minutes.
    8. Remove bread from loaf pan and cool bread on wire rack until completely cooled to retain moisture.

    Note: This is a great way to get rid of those cheap beers that are looming in your fridge from a party.

    The lighter tasting, the better. You want to be able to taste the sweetness of the bread, blended with the salty cheddar and jalapeños.

      I don't eat a lot of bread either, but I do really enjoy it and I definitely have to work hard on the treadmill if I want to eat certain things, lol. This one looks delicious and love the jalapeno/beer combo! Perfect on its own or with chili 🙂 Great photos!

      This bread was a crowd pleaser, as everyone asked for the recipe. It was so easy and looked like I bought from a store. The moist center and crispy crust was perfectly paired with chicken tortilla soup. I will definitely make again.

      Question:
      Do you use cold beer or room temperature beer? Thank you, looking forward to trying this!

      Room temperature beer is better. I honestly have used cold beer because I forgot to have one out before I had began making the bread and it turned out fine.... But room temperature is better.
