Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature when you are ready to bake the cheese bread.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of chopped jalapeños to the dry mixture. Stir gently to distribute the cheese and jalapeños evenly throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or a little vegetable oil to prevent the bread from sticking. You can also line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to remove the bread from the pan.
- After 10 minutes, carefully remove the cheese bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Serve the Trailer Park Cheese Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as a snack, side dish, or as part of a meal!
Tips
- Cheese is King: Use freshly shredded cheddar for maximum flavor and melting potential. Pre-shredded cheese won't give you the same rich taste.
- Jalapeño Pro Tip: Want to control the heat? Remove the seeds from the jalapeños for a milder kick, or leave them in for extra spice.
- Mixing Magic: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can make your bread tough and dense.
- Pan Preparation: For easy removal, use parchment paper with overhanging edges – this creates natural handles to lift the bread out.
- Doneness Check: The toothpick test is crucial! If it comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs, your bread is perfectly baked.
- Serving Suggestions: This bread is amazing warm, but it's also great toasted the next day with a schmear of butter or as a base for a breakfast sandwich.Pro Hack: Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to help it set and prevent crumbling.
