Hot Pepper Cheese Bread

Place all ingredients in your bread machine pan in the order directed by the manufacturer (usually liquids, then dry, then yeast on top).

Size is 2-pound loaf. You can cut the recipe in half to make a 1-pound loaf if needed.

Select light crust setting and press start.

Once machine is all done, set the loaf out to cool on cooling rack. It’s a big loaf, so it’s easiest to cut it in half lengthwise, then slice for easier-to-manage pieces. (I cut mine in half to help cool so I could eat it in about 20 minutes. I couldn’t wait!)

The amount of peppers can be altered to taste/heat preference. The amount of cheese can be up to 2 cups.

**For the person who said they could not get it to rise, I’m not sure what the problem is because it has never failed to rise. I do use yeast that is great for bread machines and never use the timer. Also, it is a dense bread to begin with, but it does rise. I have made it at least 5 times and never had a problem!
