Preheat the oven to 350°F /180°C ( 160°C fan oven). Line an 8x4 inch (20x10 cm) loaf pan with parchment (baking paper) and set aside.°
In a large bowl, whisk together the self rising flour, white granulated sugar, crushed garlic, salt, Italian dried herbs and crushed red chillies (if using).
Add in the shredded (grated) cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeño and chopped red bell peppers. Mix well to combine.
Pour in the beer and mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not over mix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
Top with the reserved cheese and jalapeño slices
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center or the bread comes out clean. See note 7
Remove the baked bread from the oven, but leave in the pan. Brush with the melted butter, leaving to soak in for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
Allow to cool for about 15 to 20 more minutes before slicing. See note 8
