Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar; sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients; mix until combined.

Fold in chopped jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf; place it in the prepared loaf pan.

Sprinkle cornmeal on top of the loaf for added texture.

Cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Slice and serve warm, optionally with butter.
