Vegan No Knead Jalapeño Cheddar Bread

Let’s talk bread!
For many of us, we dread working with yeast and making homemade bread. Also, it’s so easy to just pick up a loaf just about anywhere. So with all that working against us, why even bother? I’ll tell you why, because this recipe is so easy, so quick with my proofing hack, and so good, you’ll never want to pick up store bought!
Dutch oven breads are one of the easiest to throw together. You can leave them out to proof overnight, or if you’re craving bread on a whim like me most the time.. you can follow this recipe that requires no kneading and can be made within just an hour. Yep, you heard right, just about an hour and you have fresh bread! One of my personal favorite breads? Jalapeño Cheddar! There is something about this flavor combo that everyone gravitates towards. It’s cheesy with heat!
What I love about this bread, is everything! It’s packed with cheese and jalapeños, buttery soft but has a crispy outside, is perfect by itself or you can use to make a sandwich, perfect for any season, made in just 1 hour, requires no kneading, you can use regular cheddar if needed, you can use pickled jalapeños if you want to bring down the heat, it’s great for entertaining, and makes a fab grilled cheese!
If you’r all about heat with recipes, you’re going to love this staple vegan Jalapeño Cheddar Bread!

This bread is incredible! Perfect flavor, fantastic texture, and it was an easy and relatively quick recipe that didn’t dirty up the entire kitchen. I really couldn’t ask for more. This one will get made many more times. I used Daiya cutting board collection shreds and I swear no one would know this wasn’t vegan if you didn’t tell them. Bravo!
What is the calorie count on this bread?
We unfortunately don’t offer calorie counts with vegan recipes, but you’re welcome to input the ingredients into a program to do so.
Some of the best bread I’ve ever had!! And so easy to make. I used my cast iron and got an incredible crispy bottom. Added some leftover rosemary and substituted one cup of bread flour with one cup whole wheat flour. Definitely gonna try out more variations of this. Thanks!
You mention sugar and parmesan cheese in your directions but, they’re not listed in the ingredients with measurements.
Hi Caleb! Thanks for catching that. This recipe is cheddar cheese only. Let me know how it turns out!
This looks amazing! What brand cheddar did you use?
Thank you
Hi Caroline, I’m not sure, but I find those that are in the blocks that you shred yourself melt better. I use a lot of Follow Your Heart products.
Would this recipe work with gluten free flour?
You an alway try! The only different with gluten free is that baked goods tend to be on the drier side.
Hello! How much sugar to add with the warm water and yeast? It’s in the instructions but not listed in the ingredients. Thanks!
Hi Sarah! I typically add about a tsp when activating yeast.
