Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1/4 ounce active dry yeast packet
- 1/2 cup water warm (105-115 degrees F.)
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk lukewarm
- 1 tablespoon Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt room temperature
- 1 cup roasted green chiles, peeled and chopped (about 4 chiles)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (recommend queso Oaxaca or Monterey Jack)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt melted
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and sugar. Stir until well blended. Let sit for 10 minutes for yeast to activate.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine yeast mixture with warm milk and 1 tablespoon butter. Add the green chiles and cheese; mix until well blended.
- Slowly add flour followed by salt into this mixture and mix until well blended. This dough will be slightly sticky.
- Place dough in a greased bowl and let rise covered with a tea towel for 2 to 4 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Transfer the dough from the bowl onto a floured surface. The dough should still be slightly loose.
- Lightly spray loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Gently place dough into the loaf pan so it’s evenly distributed. Place dough in loaf pan and cover it with a tea towel while the oven is preheating or up to 30 minutes.
- Drizzle dough with melted butter.
- Bake for about 45 to 55 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown.
- Remove the loaf from the loaf pan and let it cool on a rack before slicing. To keep it warm, cover with a tea towel.
Notes
- Keep your yeast in the freezer to extend its shelf life! As long as the yeast bubbles and foams after you feed it, it’s alive regardless of the expiration date.
- If fresh chiles are not available canned, whole chiles can be used.
- Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, or white mild cheddar cheese may be used in place of Mexican queso Oaxaca.
- Green chili cheese bread can be stored, wrapped in parchment-lined foil, at room temperature up to 2 days.
