Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup diced jalapenos
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent the bread from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream and vegetable oil until well combined. This mixture will add moisture and richness to the bread.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Fold in the shredded cheese and diced jalapenos into the batter. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for consistent flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Make sure to spread it evenly to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the bread once it has cooled down slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Jalapeno Cheese and Sour Cream Bread!
Tips
- Choose Your Heat Level: If you prefer a milder flavor, opt for fewer jalapenos or remove the seeds before dicing. For an extra kick, consider adding some diced serrano peppers alongside the jalapenos.
- Cheese Variations: Experiment with different types of cheese! While shredded cheddar is a classic choice, mixing in pepper jack or mozzarella can add unique flavors and textures.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, so a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary in temperature, so keep an eye on your bread as it bakes. The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Serve Warm: This bread is best enjoyed warm. Consider serving it with butter or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra indulgent experience.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for later enjoyment.
