To Dave Crissman:
I recently came across the recipe you are asking about and have been
thinking about baking a loaf. I can't help you with the cheese portion of
the recipe (I'm too new at bread machine baking, having made bread by hand
for many years). However, I am a jalapeno lover and would suggest
substituting fresh jalapenos for the canned ones as it has been my
experience that fresh green jalapenos are much hotter than most canned
brands. Also, I note the recipe calls for the peppers to be
"seeded." Since most of the heat in jalapenos comes from the seeds, I
would suggest that you use the whole peppers. Hope this helps.
