How to make it
- Combine yeast with water and a lil drizzle of olive oil. Set aside about 10 minutes or so, until frothy.
- Add 1 cup of flour, honey salt and pepper and begin to mix.
- Gradually add remaining flour until a nice dough ball forms and dough is pulling away from side of bowl.(I use my KA with the dough hook)
- Knead about 5 minutes.
- Remove dough from pan and lightly brush inside of pan with oil.
- Add dough back and turn it a few times to coat lightly with the olive oil.
- Cover loosely and let rise in a dry, warm place for about an hour until dough doubles in size.
- Punch dough down, remove from bowl and press into 9 inch case iron pans or shape into flat rectangle or square loaves free standing or in other pans.
- Combine olive oil and melted butter.
- Press jalapenos into the dough then brush, again, with some of the olive oil and butter mixture. Reserve some of the oil/butter
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Cover loosely and let rise, again, another hour
- Bake at 425 for about 24 minutes until cheese is melted and crust of bread is golden brown.
- Brush with remaining oil/butter just out of oven.
