ingredients

2 cups WARM water
3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast OR 2 tablespoons and 3/4 teaspoon yeast
1/2 cup white sugar, divided (I use evaporated cane juice or demerara)
8 cups all-purpose flour (You can use all white or half freshly ground wheat and half all-purpose white.)
3/4 cup minced jalapeño peppers (From a jar like Mt. Olive)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
24 oz. block cheddar cheese

notes

Do not use hot water or cold water. It must be warm water for the yeast to rise. I always substitute evaporated cane juice or demerara for white sugar in equal measurements.
