Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1–2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 bottle (12 oz) of your favorite beer (lager or pale ale recommended)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional Toppings
- Additional sliced jalapeños and cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Add Cheese and Jalapeños: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeños, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, pour in the beer and melted butter. Gently mix to combine.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Transfer to Baking Pan: Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle additional cheddar cheese and jalapeño slices on top of the batter for an extra flavor punch.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
- Enjoy: Serve warm with butter or your favorite dip. This bread pairs perfectly with soups, chili, or simply on its own!
