Have this Jalapeno Cheddar Quick Bread on your table in about 1 hour! No kneading and no rising. Simple and delicious! Delicious alongside soups, stews or casseroles.
If you love fresh bread served with your meals, quick breads are your best friend! In one hours time you can prepare, bake and have warm fresh bread on your table. Can’t beat that!
Quick breads are breads that don’t require yeast, and instead use leaveners, so there is no need for kneading and waiting for the dough to rise. They’re the easiest kind of bread to make. So when you’re pressed for time and just want fresh, warm bread for your dinner table you can have it. Just stir together some simple ingredients, bake it for an hour and you’ve got fresh bread ready to devour!
I love quick breads so much that I make them quite often, and I like to play with the ingredients to suit our meals. But this Jalapeno Cheddar Quick Bread is our favourite thus far.
It’s moist, cheesy and spicy, making it perfect to serve with chili or ribs or dipped in soup!
For this Jalapeno Cheddar Quick Bread I used Astro® Original Balkan Style Yogourt (6%). I love to use yogourt in my baking as I find it makes cakes, breads and loaves very moist and delicious! Astro® Original yogourt is perfect for baking because it’s thick and creamy (made with 100% all-natural ingredients: skim milk, cream and active bacterial cultures). Using yogourt in this quick bread recipe results in a moist and scrumptious loaf.
And for fun I put together a quick video to show you how to make this Jalapeno Cheddar Quick Bread! In a one minute video I show you how to have this bread on your dinner table in one hour!
I hope you will watch it!

May 6, 2016 at 10:12 AMCheesus Crust! This looks delicious, Jo-Anna! I’m going to have to make this. My husband and I have been talking about making bread and hey, here it is. Ugh – I LOVE jalapeño and cheddar together.
Also, I love your video! What video software do you use? I love the idea of using photos the way you did. I tried to film myself once (overhead shot) in an attempt to do video and I hated every second of it. It’s just not for me. But what you’ve done… I like that.

May 6, 2016 at 12:20 PMHahaha love your comment Dana! I hope you do try this recipe, it’s so cheesy and delicious! Thank you for watching my video too…I’ve only done a couple so I’m still learning! I use iMovie to put them together and it’s actually a tough program – it feels counter intuitive but it works I guess! Video is tough work!

January 11, 2020 at 8:32 PMLove this jalapeño cheddar bread. I used vanilla Greek yogurt (because that’s what I had on hand and I wasn’t sure what Balkan-style even was). I also used pickeled jalapeños instead of fresh. And, lastly, I melted 2 tablespoons of butter in the loaf pan in the oven and then put the batter in after it was melted. It made it a little crunchy on the outside and so soft and silky on the inside. Thank you so much for the recipe!

May 7, 2016 at 4:00 AMThis looks so deliciously easy, Jo-Anne! I love breads but even with my bread maker, it seems to take forever. Plus cheese and jalapeños are the way to go. I’m actually whipping together some cheddar jalapeño scones today, so great minds think alike. 😉 Thanks for sharing!
Jo-Anna@APrettyLife
May 7, 2016 at 9:34 AMOh what a delicious combo for scones! Definitely going to have to try that!

September 16, 2016 at 2:32 PMWe made this and it was yummy but not a lot of heat… Do you use the seeds of the jalapeño? How much? Should I chop them? Thank you!
Jo-Anna@APrettyLife
September 17, 2016 at 9:32 PMHi Jessie! I didn’t use the seeds because that is where most of the heat of the jalapenos comes from, and I didn’t want our bread to be too spicy. If you want you can definitely add them to your bread, and chopping them would probably be better for texture. Good luck!

August 3, 2017 at 1:36 PMIf you use self-rising flour, is it necessary to add baking soda and baking powder? I have no idea the difference but I assume they are the rising catalyst??
If you still require baking soda and baking powder, should you adjust the amounts when using self-rising flour?
Jo-Anna@APrettyLife
August 7, 2017 at 6:35 PMHi Linda! I have never baked with self-rising flour, so I’m not sure how the recipe would turn out…if you try it, let me know how it works!

November 13, 2017 at 10:04 AMCan the yogurt be substituted for a different kind? Never heard of the yogurt in this recipe, please help, would love to make this bread.
Jo-Anna@APrettyLife
November 13, 2017 at 10:47 AMHi Mary! You could use any kind of thicker plain yogurt, Greek yogurt or even sour cream! Enjoy!
Bridgette Worring

June 4, 2019 at 5:34 PMJust made this bread because I had leftover jalapeños. The dough was much thicker than I thought it would be. I thought maybe I’d messed up. But, the bread is out of the oven, sliced and being devoured because it’s so good. Can’t wait to make it with chili this winter!
Jo-Anna Rooney
June 5, 2019 at 9:32 AMHi Kari! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It is surprising how thick the dough is, but makes the best bread!

November 19, 2019 at 2:17 PMDear Joanna,
I’m just waiting for this, what appears to be a mouthful of deliciousness, It was a bonus to have a video to follow. So I hope my family likes/loves this quick jalapeno/cheddar quick bread. I’ve made it to compliment unstuffed cabbage Rolls
Ps a friend of our family was making vegan chilli today and she to was making jalapeno Cheddar bread to go with it. This is what gave me the idea to make it also. So I went looking and came across your channel. And told our friend about it. She liked the simplicity of it and the delicious look as well and is making it to go with her chilli tonight also. So two new fans are aboard 👍😊
Jo-Anna Rooney
November 20, 2019 at 12:19 PMOh I love that! I hope you enjoy the bread as much as we do! And thank you so much for following along, I appreciate it so much!
