Cheddar and Chiles Bread + Cookbook Giveaway!

cheddar-chiles-bread-close

After not doing a whole lot of bread baking over the summer I have come back in full force. I’ve been kneading up a storm, and this is one of my new favorite recipes. As you may have guessed from the Soft Cheese and Pepperoni Bread, I love cheese breads. Any kind of cheese, any shape – roll, loaf, bun – you name it and if it has cheese in it I will love it. I especially love sharp white cheddar, so it’s no surprise that this bread was calling my name. As soon as I saw the recipe it seemed like a perfect complement to a warm bowl of chili, and that’s exactly how I served it. Rich and tangy from the cheese with a subtle kick from the chiles, it’s a great bread to pair not only with chili, but any stews and hearty soups, as well as for sandwiches that you want to jazz up a bit.

cheddar-chiles-bread-meal

This recipe comes from a new cookbook, Kneadlessly Simple, that I was given the opportunity to review. Like quite a few of the recent bread books on the market, it focuses on making bread baking simpler and more accessible to a greater number of people. It offers different techniques for letting the bread rise, which provides quite a bit of flexibility when baking given any time constraints you may have. I feel strongly about making as many things from scratch as possible to eliminate the amount of processed ingredients that I consume, so I’m really happy to see these books coming out, as they provide a great segue into bread baking for beginners.

It’s important to note that if you want to bake the bread using “regular” methods for a same-day bake, just make these simple adjustments to any of the recipes in the book:

  • Use warm water instead of ice cold water.
  • After mixing together ingredients, knead the dough until it is soft and elastic.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise 1-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Once doubled, shape the dough as directed or place in loaf pan and let rise again until dough has grown to more than one and a half times its size or dough is about ½-inch above rim of loaf pan.
  • Bake as directed.

KneadlesslySimple

Cheddar and Chiles Bread

Makes 1 9×5-inch loaf

Equipment:
1 9×5-inch loaf pan

3½ cups (17.5 ounces) unbleached white bread flour, plus more as needed
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon instant, fast-rising, or bread machine yeast
2 Tablespoons corn oil, canola oil, or other flavorless vegetable oil, plus extra for coating dough top and loaf pan
1-2/3 cups ice water, plus more if needed
8 ounces (3 lightly packed cups) coarsely grated very sharp cheddar cheese, preferably white cheddar
½ cup very well-drained and patted dry chopped canned green chiles

1. In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. In another bowl or measuring cup, whisk the oil into the water. Thoroughly stir the mixture into the bowl with the flour, scraping down the sides until the ingredients are thoroughly blended. If the mixture is too dry to incorporate all the flour, a bit at a time, stir in just enough more ice water to blend the ingredients; don’t over-moisten, as the dough should be stiff. If necessary, stir in enough more flour to stiffen it. Brush to spray the top with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. If desired, for best flavor or for convenience, you can refrigerate the dough for 3 to 10 hours. Then let rise at room temperature for 15 to 20 hours. If convenient, stir the dough once partway through the rise.

2. Vigorously stir the dough, gradually sprinkling over and incorporating the cheese and chiles. Fold them in very thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed. If necessary, thoroughly stir in enough more flour to yield a very stiff dough. Using a well-oiled rubber spatula, fold the dough in towards the center, working all the way around the bowl. Invert the dough into a well-greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Evenly brush or spray the dough top with oil. Using well-oiled kitchen shears or a serrated knife, make a ¼-inch-deep slash lengthwise down the center of the loaf. Cover the pan with nonstick spray-coated plastic wrap.

3. For a 1½- to 2½-hour regular rise, let stand at warm temperature; for a 1- to 2-hour accelerated rise, let stand in a turned-off microwave along with 1 cup of boiling-hot water; or for an extended rise, refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours, then set out at room temperature. Continue the rise until the dough nears the plastic. Remove it and continue until the dough reaches ½ inch above the pan rim.

4. 15 minutes before baking time, place a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 425°F.

5. Reduce the heat to 400°F. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is nicely browned; cover the top with foil as needed. Continue baking for 20 to 30 minutes longer, or until a skewer inserted in the thickest part comes out with just a few particles clinging to the bottom (or until the center registers 204° to 206°F on an instant-read thermometer). Then bake for 5 minutes more to be sure the center is done. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn out the loaf onto the rack; cool thoroughly.

6. Cool thoroughly before slicing or storing. Store air-tight in plastic or aluminum foil. The bread will keep at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, and may be frozen, airtight, for up to 2 months.

  3. I love good old-fashioned homemade white bread… When I was a kid, it was one of those things that people used to make and bring over anytime there was an event (a birth, a death, an illness, a homecoming).
    Sadly, my bread making skills really really need some work. I bet this book would help ;)

    My favorite bread is a yeast roll recipe my mom called Soggy Bottom Rolls. Soggy because you dip them in melted butter and then place them onto a pan with a stick or two of melted butter. They sort of fry on the bottom.

    Comment by Jenny

  91. This is a very hard question – I love bread, in all shapes and forms. Well, I love fresh bread in all shapes and forms. How can I pick only one? If I have to…I think focaccia. I like that even when it’s a little bit stale, so that says a lot.

    Comment by Suzy Q —
  108. This books looks like heaven! Bread is my new thing right now. I love country bread “boules” as I call them in French and I have to say although I am French, not a huge baguette fan. There are so many great breads to try out in the world! I have just tried a version of a no knead bread and loved it. I am actually researching similar recipes so I can compare and make a personal top 10!

  138. Crust with a crunch, moist airy white center. My fav type of bread is fresh baked Italian. With lots of real butter of course.

    Comment by Brad
  139. I don’t think it is possible for me to choose my favorite type of bread. You see, I am still a young student of the baking arts. I am constantly running into new types of bread at local bakeries or in cookbooks. Books such as the “King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion Cookbook” have taught me a lot about the different ingredients, techniques and results of making bread. Bakeries such as “When Pigs Fly Bread Company” have introduced me to wild and unusual types of bread such as Mango-Pineapple-Raisin-Sesame-Ginger. However, no matter the recipe or flavor of “my favorite type of bread” it would have to give me that feeling that both my mouth and my stomach are smiling at the same time :)

    Comment by Katie —

  170. My favorite type of bread…any bread! :) I love bread, sourdough is great and I’d like to try making some bread using starters as it’s not something I’ve done before.
    I work in a daycare with Kindergarten children and we made bread (buns) yesterday without a recipe. warm water, yeast, a bit of sugar and salt, and enough flour and kneading to make a smooth elastic dough. The children loved it and learned so much!

  217. Growing up in an Italian household, I have a fondness for focaccia. all styles, whether it be savory or sweet… I have tweaked the following recipes to suit my tastebuds…

    My all time savory favorite is hand torn tomato pieces dotting the top of the dough, then sprinkled with dried oregano, course salt and fresh pepper and finished with Olive oil.
    My sweet favorite is caramelized Onion with dried fig and sprinkled with sugar.

  222. Interestingly enough, ages and ages ago, my grandmother and I each purchased a copy of Fleischman’s little break book, Bake It Easy, which I still use to this day. The main reason? Their white bread with cinnamon-crumble topping. Divine.

    But currently my favorite is focaccia, all warm and salty, right from the oven.
