Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 3 3/4 cups bread flour, divided
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
  • 1 pkg active dry yeast
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup (3 oz.) reduced fat Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp. bread flour, divided

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine 1 cup flour and next 7 ingredients in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Combine water and oil in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until very warm (120 to 130 degrees).

  3. 3

    Add liquid mixture to flour mixture, beating at low speed of an electric mixer. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed.

  4. 4

    Add egg; beat well.

  5. 5

    Stir in cheese and enough of the remaining 2−3/4 cups of flour to make a soft dough.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over work surface. Turn dough onto floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic (10 minutes). Place in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.

  7. 7

    Punch dough down.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon flour over work surface. Turn dough out onto surface, and knead lightly 4 to 5 times; roll into a 14 x 7 inch rectangle.

  9. 9

    Roll dough up, starting at short side, pressing to eliminate air pockets; pinch ends to seal. Place dough, seam side down, in a 9 x 5 x 3 inch pan coated with cooking spray.

  10. 10

    Cover and let rise in a warm place approximately 45 minutes until doubled in bulk.

  11. 11

    Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on bottom.

  12. 12

    Remove from pan immediately; cool on a wire rack.
