If you love fresh bread served with your meals, quick breads are your best friend! In one hours time you can prepare, bake and have warm fresh bread on your table. Can’t beat that!
Quick breads are breads that don’t require yeast, and instead use leaveners, so there is no need for kneading and waiting for the dough to rise. They’re the easiest kind of bread to make. So when you’re pressed for time and just want fresh, warm bread for your dinner table you can have it. Just stir together some simple ingredients, bake it for an hour and you’ve got fresh bread ready to devour!
I love quick breads so much that I make them quite often, and I like to play with the ingredients to suit our meals. But this Jalapeno Cheddar Quick Bread is our favourite thus far.
It’s moist, cheesy and spicy, making it perfect to serve with chili or ribs or dipped in soup!
For this Jalapeno Cheddar Quick Bread I used Astro® Original Balkan Style Yogourt (6%). I love to use yogourt in my baking as I find it makes cakes, breads and loaves very moist and delicious! Astro® Original yogourt is perfect for baking because it’s thick and creamy (made with 100% all-natural ingredients: skim milk, cream and active bacterial cultures). Using yogourt in this quick bread recipe results in a moist and scrumptious loaf.
And for fun I put together a quick video to show you how to make this Jalapeno Cheddar Quick Bread! In a one minute video I show you how to have this bread on your dinner table in one hour!
I hope you will watch it!

Love this bread. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Cheesus Crust! This looks delicious, Jo-Anna! I’m going to have to make this. My husband and I have been talking about making bread and hey, here it is. Ugh – I LOVE jalapeño and cheddar together.
Also, I love your video! What video software do you use? I love the idea of using photos the way you did. I tried to film myself once (overhead shot) in an attempt to do video and I hated every second of it. It’s just not for me. But what you’ve done… I like that.
Hahaha love your comment Dana! I hope you do try this recipe, it’s so cheesy and delicious! Thank you for watching my video too…I’ve only done a couple so I’m still learning! I use iMovie to put them together and it’s actually a tough program – it feels counter intuitive but it works I guess! Video is tough work!
Talk about cheesy goodness!!! Holy moly it looks delicious 🙂 Definitely would not last long in my house. Think I may need to bake a loaf from Sunday brunch. Also, love the video!
Thank you Meaghan! I really love this recipe…it’s definitely a family favourite!
My son loves cheese and spicy, this is just the right bread for him! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Enjoy!
Quick breads are just amazing… easy to mix and incorporate sooo many wonderful flavors. Love this recipe! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I agree! So easy to make and so delicious!
This looks so deliciously easy, Jo-Anne! I love breads but even with my bread maker, it seems to take forever. Plus cheese and jalapeños are the way to go. I’m actually whipping together some cheddar jalapeño scones today, so great minds think alike. 😉 Thanks for sharing!
Oh what a delicious combo for scones! Definitely going to have to try that!
We made this and it was yummy but not a lot of heat… Do you use the seeds of the jalapeño? How much? Should I chop them? Thank you!
Hi Jessie! I didn’t use the seeds because that is where most of the heat of the jalapenos comes from, and I didn’t want our bread to be too spicy. If you want you can definitely add them to your bread, and chopping them would probably be better for texture. Good luck!
If you use self-rising flour, is it necessary to add baking soda and baking powder? I have no idea the difference but I assume they are the rising catalyst??
If you still require baking soda and baking powder, should you adjust the amounts when using self-rising flour?
Hi Linda! I have never baked with self-rising flour, so I’m not sure how the recipe would turn out…if you try it, let me know how it works!
Can the yogurt be substituted for a different kind? Never heard of the yogurt in this recipe, please help, would love to make this bread.
Hi Mary! You could use any kind of thicker plain yogurt, Greek yogurt or even sour cream! Enjoy!
