Good to see the site is on a new server and that we can post once again. Now on to the bread. Ever since I saw a recipe for bacon and cheese bread I have been thinking of jalapeno, bacon, and cheese bread. I just figured that this would be a great tasting bread. Many years ago we used to buy a sourdough jalapeno and cheese bread that was made here locally and it was very good. I searched high and low to get an idea on what kind of percentage to use jalapenos i the bread. I didn't find any so I just took a wild guess and plugged it into my formula. I printed up my spreadsheet giving me all the weights for the ingredients and went off making the bread. The jalapenos, bacon, and cheese were all dumped into the mix last. I could tell almost immediately that I had added way to much of something but was not sure where I had gone wrong. The dough looked like a fruit cake with all kinds of goodies poking out all over the place. There seemed to be just enough dough to hold the mess together. The dough never did seem like it rose at all but after a while it seemed to be a little bit softer so I cooked it. This is what came out of the oven.
I took the bread to work and it was gone without a trace before the next shift got to work.

Your colleagues sure know how to appreciate good bread! I can see Celia has much influence on you. You've seen her filled breads, right? What cheese did you put in?
BTW, we finally bit the bullet and got some Castello Danish 50+ blue cheese. Next...to open it. Other half thinks it wise not to bake it into the bread...at least not on our first taste trip.

They look amazing!
