Cheddar Jalapeño No Knead Bread Recipe
I'm not much of a baker, but this bread is very easy to make because of two main factors: Instant Yeast and a Dutch Oven.
Instant yeast takes all the hard work out of waiting and rising dough, and the Dutch oven creates the perfect environment for bread baking, while also keeping the shape of bread, allowing it to rise perfectly.
If you've ever had trouble making bread before, Dutch oven bread will make it so much easier for you, and it's also easy to customize once you get the hang of it.
Dutch Oven No Knead Bread (with Perfect Crusty Crust!)
Form the Dough. Add the bread flour, chopped jalapeno peppers, 2.5 cups of cheddar cheese, and seasonings. Stir together until a sticky dough forms. If it feels too sticky, mix in up to 1/2 cup extra bread flour.
First Rest. Fold the dough from the outer edges into the center several times, rotating the bowl as you go. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and set in a warm place for 1 hour, until the dough rises.
Second Rest. Fold the dough again from the outer edges into the center, then cover and rest another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Rise time can vary, but this is usually enough time for me.

Warm the Dutch Oven. While the dough is resting, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Set the Dutch oven with the lid into the hot oven and heat for 30 minutes.
Prep the Dough for Baking. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper dusted with flour and form into a round loaf. I use a rubber spatula. Score the top of the bread with a sharp knife, then brush the top of the loaf with olive oil.
First Bake. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven and remove the lid. Lift the parchment paper and dough and place into the hot Dutch oven. Cover with the hot lid and bake for 30 minutes.
Dutch Oven No Knead Jalapeño Cheddar Bread
Serve the Cheddar Jalapeno Bread. Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and rest on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. 1 hour is preferred.
Boom! Done! Your Dutch oven bread is ready to serve. It's got lots of wonderful cheddar cheese flavor, nice and spicy from the jalapenos and the spices. I love this bread!
Store at room temperature in a sealed container or covered in plastic wrap and use within 2 days. It will begin to go stale after this.

Dutch Oven Cheddar Jalapeño Bread
Are you a fan of those breads from the bakery, you know, the one’s with that deliciously crunchy crust and soft, fluffy inside?
All the nooks and crannies are just BEGGING for some creamy salted butter. Although my favorite thing to make with this bread… is grilled cheese! Seriously, it’s amazing.

I have another suuuuuuper easy no-knead bread on my website, but it requires a really long rise/rest time… so you have to make it the night before you want to bake the bread.
Jalapeno Cheddar Dutch Oven No Knead Bread Recipe
It tastes amazing, but I wanted to tweak that recipe to see if I could make a no-knead dutch oven bread that DIDN’T require a rise overnight.
Like most breads, it does have to rise two different times, however, it’s virtually hands-off, since you just fold the dough with a rubber spatula in between the rises… you don’t even have to get your hands dirty!
Let’s break it down… it may sound complicated, but I promise you it’s not, and I took step by step photos to show you.
Easy Cheddar Jalapeño Dutch Oven Bread
Freshly baked breads, like this one, taste best when they are fresh. While your bread will still taste good 1-2 days after it’s baked, it will always best the day of.
Bread should be kept at room temperature. Refrigerating bread actually causes it to go stale quicker (at least with homemade breads), so keep it out of there for best results.

This mimics the steaming effect of baking the dough in a dutch oven with the lid on for the first 30 minutes (which is what causes the bread to rise so much), and also produces a great crispy crust.
