And I just did my variation of the Mondofresh Chipotle version. I made a Green Chile, Cheddar and Monterey Jack Cheese bread, and WOW, is it yummy! I used about 3/4 cup of roasted and diced New Mexico green chile, and stirred that into the risen dough (made with only 1 cup of water). I needed to add a little more than 1/3 cup extra flour to reduce the sliminess factor. Then, I mixed in about 6 oz. of sharp Cheddar and 6 oz. of Monterey Jack diced in 1/2 inch cubes. The dough was still pretty wet and sticky. I kind of scraped the whole heap into a greased 9x5 bread pan and let it rise another hour. I baked it for about 45 minutes, but could perhaps have let it go another 5-10. But the finished loaf was spectacular! Big holes full of cheese and spicy green chile throughout. I had to put a pan on the lower rack, though to catch dripping cheese. Glad I check it before my oven got totally decorated. Anyway, it's delicious! Just thought I'd pass it along.
My mouth is watering! Elisabeth
