Chef's notes
This bread can be served warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with soups or can be enjoyed as a standalone snack.
For extra heat, consider adding more jalapeños or including some cayenne pepper in the mix.
To make the bread more cheesy, increase the amount of cheddar or try adding a blend of cheeses.
