Using yogurt in baking.

For this Jalapeño Cheddar Quick Bread I used Astro® Original Balkan StyleYogourt (6%).I love to use yogourt in my baking as I find it makes cakes, breads and loavesvery 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. You can also use a Greek yogurt or sour cream.

Jalapeño Cheddar Quick Bread Recipe Tips

  • Yogurt: I like to use a 6% Balkan style yogurt for this bread, but you can substitute it with sour cream, or a thick plain yogurt or Greek yogurt.
  • Jalapeño: If you like it spicy, feel free to add more jalapeños. If you want less spice, add less, or substitute with a more mild pepper like an Aneheim chile pepper.
  • Cheese: For the best flavour, use a sharp cheddar cheese. You can also use a Monterey Jack cheese or a pre-made shredded Mexican cheese blend.
  • Flavour Options: Feel free to add minced red or green bell pepper, or chopped green onions for more colour and even more flavour! If you love garlic, add a tsp of garlic powder.
  • What size of loaf pan? Use a 9 x5 inch loaf pan.
  • Line your loaf pan with parchment paper.Use a piece of parchment paper to line the baking tin so the jalapeño bread can be easily removed after baking.
  • Don’t over mix the batteror you will end up with a very dense loaf.
  • Let it cool! Make sure tolet your loaf cool before cutting it, or you will end up with a crumbled piece of bread. Remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
  • How long will this quick bread last? Quick breads arebest enjoyed within 1 to 3 daysas they tend to dry out more quickly than traditional bread. If your bread becomes a little dry, toast it and slather on butter.
  • How to store leftovers. You can keep this bread in an airtight container on your counter, or in the fridge, for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe freezes well.
