Servings: persons

1 1/2 tablespoons dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water
4 cups flour (more as needed)
2 large jalapeno peppers, coarsely chopped, and seeds removed (can use more jalapeno if desired)
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg (room temperature, let egg sit in hot water for about 5-7 minutes to warm)
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (optional)
3/4 cup milk, warmed
2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese (chopped into about 1/2-inch cubes or a little larger if desired)

1
Prepare a heavy-duty stand mixer with a kneader blade.
2
Proof yeast in water with 1 teaspoon sugar for 8-10 minutes, or until foamy.
3
Heat milk in the microwave for about 50 seconds on HIGH.
4
In the stainless steel bowl, add in 4 cups flour, chopped jalepenos, salt, sugar, egg, hot pepper sauce (if using) and warmed milk.
5
After the yeast has proofed, add to the bowl and start kneading, adding in more flour as needed to create a soft smooth semi-sticky dough, keep kneading for about 8-10 minutes.
6
Towards the end of the kneading add in the cubed cheddar cheese, and mix until combined (the dough can be removed from the bowl and you can add/mix in the cheese by hand if dresired).
7
After the kneading, let the dough sit out on a board or counter top to rest, covered with a clean tea towel for 8-10 minutes.
8
Gather up dough and knead gently for 30 seconds.
9
Then place the dough in a well greased bowl, and let rise until doubled (about 1-1/2 hours or could take a little longer).
10
Punch down dough and slice into two even pieces.
11
Shape into two large balls, and place on a cookie/baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
12
Cover with a clean tea towel and rise again for another 1 hour or more until doubled.
13
Brush tops with an egg white that has been mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water.
14
Sprinkle on grated Parmesan cheese or sesame seeds.
15
Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 25-35 minutes or until the crust is a dark golden brown.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
