  • 2-3 large jalapenos one or two seeded & diced, the other sliced
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 .25 oz packet instant dry yeast
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Add the water to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the yeast and allow to sit for a few minutes until the yeast begins to bloom.
