Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 Loaf
Ingredients
  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • ¼ Cup Corn Meal (Finely Ground)
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Yeast (1 Package)
  • 2 Tablespoons Canola or Olive Oil
  • 1¼ Cup Warm Water (110 Degrees)
  • 4 Slices American Cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons Chopped Yellow Onion
  • 2 Large Jalapenos Coarsely Chopped
  • 2 Teaspoons Soft Butter
Instructions
  1. Measure the first seven ingredients into a large bowl. Stir everything together until the water is incorporated and the dough begins to form, leaving the sides of the bowl. If it does not come together, add a little water; if it is too wet, add a little flour. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead for 8 minutes; add flour a tablespoon at a time if the dough is sticky. It should be moist and soft, but not stick to your hands.
  2. Wipe out the bowl, add a teaspoon of oil, form the dough into a ball and turn it in the oil to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size; about one hour.
  3. When the dough has doubled in size, remove and knead for 1 minute. On a lightly floured work surface, hand-form the dough into a rectangle roughly the length of your loaf pan and half as wide. Lay the cheese slices on the dough, leaving a half inch space around the edges. Scatter the onions and peppers evenly over the cheese.
  4. Roll up the dough along the wide edge as seen in the picture above. Pinch the long edge together to seal, turning to place this seam at the bottom. Stretch the top of each end of the roll over the edge creating a smooth end; tuck the stretched dough under the roll. Place the dough into a loaf pan oiled with 1 teaspoon of Canola oil. Cover with a towel and allow to rise until doubled in size; about 40 minutes.
  5. Bake in a 350 degree oven on a center rack until browned; internal temp of about 170 degrees. Remove from oven and spread the butter over the top of the loaf. Don't forget to try a piece slathered in butter while it is still hot from the oven!
