Easy Cheesy Jalapeno Soda Bread takes just a few minutes to prepare from pantry ingredients! Great with soup or cold food, you’ll make this again and again it’s so good!
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!

My family love this Soda Bread. Yummy
Camilla
Thanks Ellen, so glad you all like it:-)
William Gould
I does look interesting, but my wife is not keen on jalapenos so I’ll probably not get around to trying it…. 🙁
Camilla
Or William, you could make it, slice it up and freeze what you didn’t use for another day:-)

Choclette
It looks gorgeous Camilla and the flavours sound right up my street. Soda bread is just perfect for when you want bread in a hurry and it’s just what a good bowl of soup needs 🙂
Camilla
Thanks Choclette, yes I’m sure you’d love it:-)
Elizabeth
Mmmm I’m loving the sound of this. I do love jalapenos but there’s no way my kids would eat it, lol! Too spicy for them.
Camilla
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.
