Total Time: 3 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast or 2 1/2 teaspoons fast rising yeast
• 3 cups bread flour
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds (plus 1 tsp for topping, if desired)
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (plus 1 tsp for topping, if desired)
• 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oatmeal (large flake, plus 1 tsp for topping, if desired)
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds (plus 1 tsp for topping, if desired)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 10 ounces warm water
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, sharp, cubed or 1 cup cheddar cheese, sharp, shredded
• 1 (13 ounce) jar jalapeno peppers, drained (use 1/2 to 1 full jar, based on your heat preference)
• 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, sharp, shredded

Recipe

• 1 place yeast, flour, seeds, oatmeal, salt, sugar, oil, and water in bread machine according to manufacturer's directions.
• 2 when cycle is complete, remove dough, and knread 1 cup cheese and jalapenos (well drained and dried) into dough. i make the process easier by taking chunks of the dough and placing them into a bowl, a couple at a time, topping with cheese and jalapenos, and repeating until all dough, cheese, and jalapenos are gone - and then gently kneading.
• 3 form into a loaf, and place into a lined 9x5 bread pan (i line mine with parchment paper.) alternatively, you could grease and flour the pan - just be aware that the cheese can stick really well, so it's best to line the pan! top with shredded cheddar and additional grains/oatmeal.
• 4 allow loaf to rise until doubled, approximately 45 minutes. set oven to 375°f when loaf is doubled, bake for 35-45 minutes, until browned and until the loaf sounds hollow when you knock on the bottom of it.
