RECIPE: Jalapeño Cheese Stuffers

This has fast become mine (and my guests!) favourite recipe. I mean who doesn't love oozing cheese, bread and jalapeños...together!! Pretzelmaker has a version of these, which inspired the recipe and an expansion in my waistline some years ago... I found a blog that contained elements of this recipe below. With a few modifications, I present to  you one of the most delicious appetizers on the planet earth.  
Dough, after an hour of rise.

  • 1 tbsp Yeast
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp softened Butter
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 and 1/4 cup Flour (more if needed)
  • 5-7 Jalapeño Peppers, sliced
  • Cheddar Cheese, cut into 1 cm cubes
  • Bit of oil 
  • Bit of vinegar
    Yields: 30-45 (depending on size) 

    Now what?

    1- If you are using the instant yeast, you will want to mix it in with salt, sugar, softened butter, two cups of flour, and about 3/4 of the water. Begin mixing!

    2- You will want to slowly add the remaining dough and water, until the dough is neither sticky, nor too dry. Add more flour or water as necessary.

    3- Knead until the dough is soft to the touch. 

    4- Once your dough is soft, make it ball-shaped, cover with oil, along with the containing bowl. Seal the bowl with saran wrap, cover with towel, and put it in a warm place to allow rise- for 1-2 hours.

    5- In the meantime, you will want to cut up your cheese cubes, and slice your jalapeño peppers. Pour some vinegar onto your peppers and allow them to soak for a bit for that extra kick!

    6- Once the dough has doubled in size, you will want to make 1 inch balls and place 2-3 slices of jalapeño and 1 cheese cube inside of each of them. 

    7- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, in a preheated oven of 350 degrees. 

    8- You can drizzle melted butter over the cheese stuffers if you wish.
