Ingredients
- 3 3/4 cup bread flour, divided
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup (3 oz.) reduced fat Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoon bread flour, divided
- vegetable cooking spray
Instructions
-
Combine 1 cup flour and next 7 ingredients in a bowl.
-
Combine water and oil in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until very warm (120 to 130 degrees).
-
Add liquid mixture to flour mixture, beating at low speed of an electric mixer. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed.
-
Add egg; beat well. Stir in cheese and enough of the remaining 2-3/4 cups of flour to make a soft dough.
-
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over work surface. Turn dough onto floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
-
Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
-
Punch dough down. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon flour over work surface. Turn dough out onto surface, and knead lightly 4 to 5 times; roll into a 14 x 7 inch rectangle.
-
Roll dough up, starting at short side, pressing to eliminate air pockets; pinch ends to seal.
-
Place dough, seam side down, in a 9 x 5 x 3 inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place approximately 45 minutes until doubled in bulk.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on bottom. Remove from pan immediately; cool on a wire rack.
