Hartness House Inn Jalapeno Bread Recipes

JALAPENO CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Add two cups of flour, along with the salt, to the bowl of a stand mixer.
• In a medium saucepan, heat water, milk and butter over medium heat until butter is melted. The temperature of the mixture should be between 110-115 degrees. If it is too warm, allow it to cool slightly. Stir the sugar and yeast into the warm milk and butter mixture. Let stand about 10 minutes, or until yeast is frothy.
• Add yeast mixture to the flour in the mixer. Stir in the egg. Using the dough hook, mix until well combined. Gradually add the remaining half cup of flour until a soft dough forms and gathers in the center of the bowl. You may not need all the flour.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes. Let dough rest for 5-10 minutes. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 10x14 inch rectangle.
• Sprinkle the dough with the garlic salt, followed by the minced jalapenos and both cheeses. Starting with the long end, roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log in half vertically, starting a few inches below the upper edge. You should have two ropes of dough, connected at the top.
• Gently rotate the two ropes of dough outward, so that the cut side is facing up and the filling is exposed. Place one rope of dough over the other, repeating until you reach the end of the log. Carefully place the loaf into a greased, 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• Cover and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the loaf for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. If needed, cover with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking time to prevent over-browning.

DUTCH-OVEN JALAPEñO CHEDDAR BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, 2 cups (200 g) of cheddar cheese, the chopped jalapeños, and salt. Stir well.
• In a separate large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Pour the flour mixture on top of the water and use a silicone spatula to stir until the dough comes together.
• With the spatula, fold the dough around the edges of the bowl toward the center, rotating the bowl each time and folding a total of 8 times. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place for 60 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
• Using the spatula, fold the dough toward the center again 8 more times. Cover with the towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Add the Dutch oven and lid to the oven, and preheat to 450˚F (230˚C) for 30 minutes.
• Lightly flour a clean work surface and your hands. Carefully peel the dough out of the bowl and onto the floured surface. Flip over and carefully brush away excess flour. Fold the edges of the dough towards the center 8 times, then flip over the dough and transfer to a piece of parchment paper.
• Brush the top of the dough with the olive oil, so the cheese will stick. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup (50 g) of cheese on top. Use a sharp knife to score the bread with an "X", which will allow steam to escape. Arrange the jalapeño rings on top of the cheese.
• Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven and use the parchment to lift the bread into the pot. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for 20 more minutes, until the bread is golden brown.
• Carefully slide the bread out of the pot and onto a wire rack. Remove the parchment paper and let the bread cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
• Slice the bread and serve as desired.
• Enjoy!

BREADED JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• In a 6-quart saucepan, combine jalapeños, vinegar and 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until jalapeños are tender but not soft, 15 to 20 minutes depending on size. Drain and rinse with cold water. Using a small knife, make a slit along the side of each jalapeño. Keeping jalapeños as intact as possible, carefully remove and discard stems and seeds.
• Using a blunt knife or small spoon, spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter inside each jalapeño, pressing the opening closed. (Do not overlap edges.)
• Spread flour in a wide shallow bowl and roll filled jalapeños to coat them well, roll in egg, then roll in bread crumbs. Set aside on a plate.
• In a large skillet, add enough oil to come about 3/4 inch up the side. Place over medium-high heat until oil is shimmering. Working in batches, fry jalapeños until well browned and crisp on the undersides, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.
