Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water with granulated sugar and stir until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast and let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour and salt. Create a well in the center for your yeast mixture.

Combine Ingredients: Pour yeast mixture into the well, add olive oil and jalapenos. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead Dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.

Shape and Second Rise: Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, place on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another hour.

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the Bread: After the second rise, bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding.

Cool: Transfer bread to a wire rack and cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
