Chile Cheddar Bread Recipes

RUSTIC GREEN CHILE CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Prepare a wood fired pizza oven with a 400F fire that's been burning for about an hour (or use residual heat in the oven from a previous fire). Combine first 7 ingredients in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Mix on medium high speed for 7-10 minutes (or until the dough starts to pull away from the bowl) with a dough hook attachment. Scrape down sides occasionally. Remove bowl from mixer and stir in cheese and chiles with a wooden spoon. Let dough rise in bowl for 30 minutes. Place bowl back on the mixer and turn mixer back on to medium high speed for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle pizza peel with a little flour and set aside. Turn dough out on to hands and work dough into a ball shape, place on floured peel (making sure dough isn't sticking) and let rise for 45 minutes in a warm area. Gently slide bread off the pizza peel in hot pizza oven for 30 minutes to bake. If the oven has an active fire leave the door open; however, if using residual heat put the oven door back on to trap the heat for cooking. Remove from oven and let cool for 1 - 1 ½ hours before serving.

IRON-SKILLET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Place rack in middle of oven. Set skillet on a rimmed baking sheet, place on rack, and preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl to combine. Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl to blend; whisk in creamed corn, chiles, cheddar, and Monterey Jack.
• Mix butter and sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon just until butter absorbs sugar but butter is still in small pieces. Add egg mixture and mix until just combined. Mix in dry ingredients until barely incorporated.
• Remove skillet from oven and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Scrape in batter (it should sizzle on contact and stay slightly mounded in the center). Bake cornbread until top is golden brown and springs back when gently pressed, 35-45 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
