Bread Machine Goodness: Chipotle Chili Cheese Bread

I  finally got my bread machine out and  began experimenting with recipes.  My motivation came not only from my hunger  for home made bread but all the delicious breads they have in the store now-a-days.  I also love the smell of bread baking.

During the past week  I have concentrated on three different breads.  Italian Herb Bread, Chocolate Cherry Pistachio Bread, and Chipotle Chili Cheese Bread.  I am still trying to get the Chocolate Cherry Pistachio Bread right.   The other two breads were gone before the day was over.

I decided I would share the recipe for the Chipotle Chili Cheese Bread ( it won out by a very small margin). The bread has a mellow cheese flavor with a hint of spiciness.

                                                    Chipotle Chili  Cheese Bread

  This makes a 2-pound loaf

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups of lukewarm water (80-90 degrees)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup sugar
4 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons dry milk
1 cup shredded Mexican Cheese
1 teaspoon Chipotle Chili powder
1 teaspoon bread machine yeast or 1 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

Directions:
1. Place the ingredients as listed in your bread machine pan.
2. Place the pan in the bread machine and select the White Bread setting or Basic setting .
3. When done, remove the bread pan from the baking chamber.  Remove the loaf of bread and place on a wire rack to cool.

Note:  If your bread machine has a delayed baked feature do not use for this bread.
