- Pre-heat oven to 350F.
- In a bowl, transfer the self-rising flour, plain greek yogurt, cheese, jalapeño pepper, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Using a sturdy spoon, mix until it starts to come together then use your hands to further gather the mixture to form into a dough. Transfer in a floured surface.

Press your thumb in the center to create a hole, the use your fingers to stretch the hole. 2. Shape into a Rope: Shape the portion into a rope about 9-inch long. Press the end, the fold the other press and press/seal in the flat end. You should end up with a circle, like donut. Slightly press to flatten to about 4-inch size.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle remaining cheese and 3 slices jalapeno on top.
- Bake in a lower rack for 27 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway through baking. Remove from the oven.
- Let cool completely before serving. Cooling will enhance the texture of the bread, so this is a MUST.
