Vegan Jalapeno Cheese Artisan Bread Recipe
This vegan jalapeño cheese artisan bread combines a fluffy texture with spicy jalapeños and creamy dairy-free cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 packet 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup vegan shredded cheese
- 2 –3 jalapeños diced (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder optional
Instructions
Activate the Yeast:
- In a large bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Prepare the Dough:
- Add flour, salt, and garlic powder (if using) to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms. Add olive oil and knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
Incorporate Jalapeños and Cheese:
- Gently fold in the diced jalapeños and vegan cheese. Ensure even distribution throughout the dough.
First Rise:
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1–1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Shape the Dough:
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased Dutch oven.
Second Rise:
- Cover the shaped dough and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). If using a Dutch oven, cover it with a lid. Bake for 30–40 minutes, removing the lid during the last 10 minutes for a crispy crust.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
