We caved early this year – it’s not even the middle of October, but we already turned on the heat. When I came downstairs on Saturday morning and saw that it was only 55 degrees in the house, there was simply no other option. I have a feeling we might be in store for another brutally long winter. Which means it will be another winter filled with lots and lots of soup. I’d better get my stock pot ready!

I always like to have a little something extra with my soup – crackers or biscuits or bread. I usually just buy a loaf from the bakery on my way home from work since I don’t usually have the time or patience to bake it from scratch, but I just rediscovered beer bread and I have a feeling I’ll be making it all winter long.

Beer bread is super easy to make. Since it doesn’t have yeast, there’s no need to wait around while it rises. In fact, start to finish it takes less than an hour!

This Jalapeño Cheddar Beer Bread is soft and fluffy inside, with a perfectly crispy, golden brown crust. It has loads of flavor, since it’s studded with pickled jalapeños and pockets of melted cheddar cheese. I also used some whole wheat flour, which gives the bread a slightly nutty flavor that compliments that sweet, yeasty notes that the beer contributes.

To keep things on the healthier side, I also used GO Veggie! lactose free cheddar shreds. If you’re a frequent reader, you already know how much I love these shreds: they melt and stretch just like regular cheese but have only half the fat and 55% more calcium. They add the perfect touch of cheesy flavor to this bread – the cheese on the inside is soft and melty, while the shreds on the surface crisp up and make the crust extra delicious.

Dunk this beer bread in your favorite soup or slather it with jalapeno jelly.
