Bread (Table) - Green Chili Cheese Bread

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

Bread (Table) - Green Chili Cheese Bread

Post by Chowhound »

bread1.jpg
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp butter
1 cup milk
1 pkg yeast
1 ½ cups of chopped green chile (Drain the water if using canned chile. Dry with a paper towel if using fresh chopped.)
1 cup of shredded cheese (I prefer sharp cheddar.)

Dissolve yeast in 1/8 cup of warm water. Add the milk, butter, salt and sugar. Stir until well blended. Add 1 ½ cups of flour to the mixture. Add the green chile and cheese. Stir until combined. Add remaining flour to make a soft dough. The dough will be a bit sticky. If it is too sticky to work with, add another tablespoon or so of flour. Place the dough in a greased bowl and allow it to rise for 1 ½ hours. Remove from bowl and shape into round loafs or put into loaf pans. Grease and flour the pan before baking or the cheese will stick. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes. Bake at 450 degrees for about 18-20 minutes (425 in a convection oven)
