Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Flatten the dough and sprinkle evenly with the chopped jalapenos, cheddar cheese, and cilantro.
6. Fold the dough over itself and knead it gently to distribute the jalapenos, cheese, and cilantro evenly throughout the dough.
7. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
