Ingredients
Instructions
- In a mixer, place water, honey, and yeast. Let the yeast soften.
- Add all the dry ingredients at once, making sure the salt is mixed into the flour before adding to the yeast mixture.
- Use a dough hook on the mixer.
- Add chopped jalapeno and chopped green onion.
- Continue to mix for 10 minutes on medium speed or knead by hand until the dough becomes elastic in consistency.
Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider using pickled jalapenos instead of fresh ones. If sharp Cheddar isn't available, a mild or pepper jack cheese can work too. Ensure the salt is properly blended with the flour to avoid any yeast activation issues. If you prefer a sweeter note, substituting honey with molasses can add depth to the flavor profile.
