Bread Machine Jalapeno Cheese Bread

My sister makes awesome jalapeno bagels from her jalapeno plant that just keeps producing all summer long.  Problem is, bagels take time to make.  A labor of love, really.  So, when she just doesn't have the time, jalapeno bread is a good alternative.   I prefer to weigh the flour to be as accurate as possible.  For bread machine standards, this makes a large loaf  2 pound loaf.
