Green Chili Cheese Bread
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp yeast
- 2 cup baking flour (white)
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp melted margerine
- 2/3 cup milk (warmed)
- 1/2 to 2/3 pound sharp cheddar, room temp cut into 1 inch squares
- 1 small can Ortega diced green chilis, drained
Instructions
Place the dry ingredients in first, then the liquids. Put the chilis in at about half way through the first kneading. Add a tablespoon of extra flour at a time until the bread is the proper consistency (the moisture in the green chilis will make this necessary). As described above, add the cheddar cheese around 90-120 sec before the machine shifts to rising mode. I usually add an extra tablespoon or so of flour to get the cheese into the bread. In my machine I usually have to pull the loaf out at the end of baking to put it into the regular oven for 5 to 10 minutes extra at 350 degrees to get the top medium brown (maybe the extra cheese, etc. makes this necessary, not sure). You may need to tweak the recipe for your particular machine or manual method as necessary. You may gain a few pounds in the experimentation but it will be fun!
