2 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cup canned jalapeno pepper, drained
3/4 cup shredded cheese, divided
1 beaten egg
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground sage

Steps:

Proof yeast in warm water.
In another bowl, combine milk, sugar, salt and shortening.
Allow to cool until lukewarm.
Add yeast and mix well.
Add peppers, 1/2 c cheese, egg, nutmeg, sage, and 2 c flour.
Beat until smooth.
Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
This should take about 8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl and turn to grease the top.
Cover and let rise until the dough doubles.
This should take about 1 1/2 hours.

Shape in a round loaf and put the dough in a greased 8-9" pie plate.
