Pepper Jack Cheese Bread

I recently discovered that I have a thing for pepper jack cheese- especially if it’s Tillamook (which, by the way, is the greatest cheese company in the world). I even made pepper jack stuffed burgers and they rocked my world. I’ve made jalapeno cheese bread before and, since pepper jack cheese is essentially jalapeno cheese, I decided pepper jack cheese bread needed to be born.

It was incredible! Pepper jack is creamier than cheddar and was perfectly suited for this bread. It’s simpler to make since you don’t need to chop up jalapenos and throw them in, too. And just so darn good.

      Absolutely! The pockets of cheese won’t be as big but it will be great.
