Southwest Cheese Bread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Stir yeast & juice (or water) in a large bowl until dissolved.
• 2. In another bowl, stir together the 1 cup flour, milk powder, salt and chile powder, if used. Stir in yeast mixture & beat with electric mixer until it forms a sticky mass, about 3 minutes. Cover & let rest for 1 hour. Beat in egg & additional flour until dough begins to come together.
• 3. Plop onto a lightly floured counter & gradually knead in additional flour only as needed to prevent sticking and forms a soft dough. Too much flour will make your bread dry. Knead until soft & smooth, about 5 minutes. Knead in cheese & chile.
• 4. Coat ball of dough with olive oil and place in bowl. Cover with damp cloth & let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
• 5. Reshape into a ball tucking in the ends & place on a greased cookie sheet. Let rise again until almost doubled, 15 to 30 minutes. Preheat oven 425 degrees & place baking pan filled with 1-1/2 inches of water on the lowest shelf of oven.
• 6. Sprinkle loaf with additional grated cheese, if you wish and place in middle of oven. Immediately reduce temperature to 375 and bake 20-30 minutes until golden brown & bread sounds hollow when tapped with your fingers. Remove from oven & cool somewhat, for better slicing. It is great served warm but great at any temperature.
• 7. DON't worry if you can't find the Green chile powder, it will work without it.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cheese. In another large bowl, beat together egg, milk and oil. Stir the flour/cheese mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until just moistened. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients except bread, garnish cherry tomatoes, whole cilantro leaves and cheese. Spread on one side of each bread slice. Sprinkle with cheese. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 5 to 6 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is slightly toasted on bottom.
• I like to half each piece of bread, then garnish with a piece of cilantro topped by the cherry tomato. And, sometimes I like to broil the tomatoes on and then garnish with fresh cilantro. Either way, the cilantro really makes everything come together.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the beans, sugar, butter, salt and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix the ground beef, eggs, onion, bread crumbs, salsa, ketchup, barbeque sauce, salt, pepper, and celery salt together in a bowl; transfer to a loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 1 hour.
