Jalapeno, Cheddar, and Cornbread Loaf

This recipe is from one of my Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks called Bread Machine Bounty. That title should tip you off right way. This recipe only has the ingredients listed and assumes you will allow the bread machine to do all the work. If you'd like to prepare it by hand, I can improvise those instructions for you by request.

The loaf turned out fairly small and mis-shapen which is exactly how Kevin likes it!

For a 1 Pound Loaf:

3/4 cup Buttermilk (this can be created by adding just under one tablespoon of vinegar to milk.)
1 1/2 tsp shortening
2 cups bread flour (all purpose worked fine for me.)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese with jalapeno peppers or Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers. (I shredded colby cheese and just finely chopped up 4 of 5 jalapeno rings.)
1/3 cup cornmeal
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp active dry yeast or bread machine yeast

Add ingredients to machine according to manufacturer's directions.(Always add liquid ingredients first, then dry ingredients (should be floating on top of liquids), then make a small well in the dry ingredients and add yeast LAST--being sure the yeast never comes in contact with the liquids or it will be activated too soon.) Select desired cycle and bake. Cool on wire rack at least 30 minutes before slicing.
