  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1 12-ounce bottle of non-alcoholic beer or sparkling apple cider
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeños until evenly distributed.
  4. Gradually add non-alcoholic beer or sparkling apple cider. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Drizzle melted butter over the top of the batter for a golden crust.
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and serve.

Notes

Adjust the jalapeños for heat preference.

Use turkey bacon or chicken ham if adding meat.

Experiment with different cheeses or herbs for variety.
