In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F) with sugar and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well and add activated yeast mixture, olive oil, and jalapenos. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for another hour.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake the loaf for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.

Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
