It’s autumn which means it’s very much soup weather and every soup deserves a good helping of crusty bread.

My Easy Cheesy Jalapeno Soda Bread takes just minutes to prepare and is the perfect soup accompaniment or is great as part of a cold table.

If you’ve never made soda bread the only thing you need to be aware of is to get the dough into the oven as quickly as possible as the gases start being released from the raising agents as soon as you add the liquid (in this case beer).

Cheddar and chillies are such great bed fellows so this Easy Cheesy Jalapeno Soda Bread didn’t last long and was devoured at one sitting. So the next time you run out of bread I recommend you make soda bread as it’ll be ready before you could pop out to the shops to buy some!

    I’ve made this twice now. The first time I undercooked it just a bit. I was impatient. But it was more than good enough to try again. This time, absolutely delicious. It’s now going to be a staple to go with my chili con carne.

    Added a little chilli powder to this recipe and it was absolutely delicious. Shared with co-workers and everyone enjoyed. Will definitely be making this again. Thank you

    Sadly this didn’t turn out for me. I was wanting to branch out from my typical white bread and found this recipe. I prepped it according to the recipe but for whatever reason it stayed raw even though the crust was decent. It didn’t rise at all either, not sure what happened.

      Hi Chris, maybe you overworked the dough, it literally comes together in seconds or maybe your oven is the issue? My slow cooker died on me recently and I had a crust on outside and raw dough in the middle of my sourdough.

    Looks awesome!
    Do you use fresh Jalapenos or do you think I could use pickled jalapenos from a jar?

      Hi Dan, sorry the recipe should have stated “pickled”, I’ve now amended:-)

    • Camilla

      23/09/2016 at 5:56 pm

      Thanks Elizabeth, I think you’d get away with it as the spice is quite diluted throughout the loaf as the jalapenos are chopped up and as half are red, (sweeter) it’s less spicy than if all green. My daughter loved it and she doesn’t like highly spiced food.

      Love the sound of the apple and blackberry, I have done an apple and pear cider one before which was fab, not a fan of goats cheese though I’m afraid.
