I got this recipe from a a great list of bread machine bread recipes, and we love it around here. The notes read that it’s pretty hot, but we find it to be mild – maybe this is because I used jalapenos from a jar. Makes fantastic grilled cheese sandwiches. Enjoy!

Jalapeno Cheese Bread

3/4 cup sour cream
1/8 cup water
1 egg
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (4 oz.)
3 tablespoons fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped (about 4 peppers)
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Wow … hot stuff!! Serve this coarsely textured, very spicy bread at your next cocktail party and watch it disappear. It’s great with a glass of wine or a cold beer, but its perfect partner is a frosty margarita! Place all ingredients in bread pan, select a light crust setting, and press “start”. After the baking cycle ends, remove bread from pan, place on cake rack, and allow to cool 1 hour before slicing.
