I was straightening up a book shelf when I came upon this cookbook I haven’t looked at for a long time. It’s a yearly edition of Cooking light magazine recipes (From 2000). There are a ton of great recipes in it, and when I saw this recipe for cheese and chile filled bread, I knew I was going to make it!
For the dough:
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 package dry yeast
1 cup very warm water
1 TB. extra virgin olive oil
In my Kitchen-Aid Mixer, add all the ingredients above and using the dough hook, mix for 6 minutes. The dough will look like this:
Cover with a cloth and leave it for 45 minutes to rise.
After its risen, roll out onto your counter in the shape of a rectangle (15 x 10 inch):
For the filling:
1 ounce cheddar cheese
1 ounce parmesan cheese
1 tsp. olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
1 jalapeno, seeds removed
1 green onion
I mixed that altogether in my magic bullet. Spread that over the dough.
Roll up the sides and brush the top of the dough with an egg white. Cut a few slits in the top of the bread before baking. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
A serving is 2 half inch slices, the loaf makes 16 slices. Each serving is only 108 calories, 3.1 grams of fat, 16 carbs and .8 fiber!!
This would be great with a big pot of chili!!
Have you ever tried to make bread from scratch? I used to be scared of using yeast, but it’s not hard at all and besides waiting for the dough to rise (and baking), the actual process of making the dough is only about 5 minutes.
When i saw the title I was so hoping this would be a yeast bread! Sounds delicious. I love the idea of a savory rolled bread. They are hard to come by!
I agree with Joanne, it wasn’t the bread I was thinking about but it looks amazing!! Stuff anything with that filling and you’ve got a winner! Thanks!
Yeast still does scare me a little, because you never know what it’s going to do or if you did something wrong or if the yeast is dead. I still forge ahead anyways though! Life is too short to fear yeast! 🙂
Your bread does look great! It would be a lovely side to any fall soups!
That cookbook is one I consistently keep readily available on my kitchen counter. I’ve lost track of all the recipes I’ve made from it. the blueberry pound cake featured on the cover is one of our favorites!
YUM!!
I love cookbooks like that – I find that when they’re a collection of the best of recipes they always have a lot of winners!
This looks so gorgeous, I love the picture of the bread sliced with the beautiful rolls in it! Great job!
I’ve cooked w/ yeast and I’m not scared of it anymore either. The only problem is after I bake my kitchen always looks like somebody sneezed flour all over it!
That looks and sounds AWESOME!!! love the cheese in there! My favorite part!! I’ve tried baking bread before…some turned out good, but I always seem to forget about it as it rises, and it ends up sour!
