- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced

- 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup water
- 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients listed in the recipe.
-
Load Bread Machine: Place all ingredients into the bread machine in the order specified, ensuring even distribution of each component for optimal flavor in every slice.
-
Select Setting: You have two options here. Either set your bread machine to the whole wheat mode for a fully automated baking process, or if you prefer a more hands-on approach, set the machine to the dough setting and prepare to shape the dough manually.
-
Mix and Knead: Allow the bread machine to work its magic, mixing and kneading the dough to perfection. If you’ve chosen the dough setting, patiently await the completion of this step.
-
Shape Dough: Once the machine has finished its cycle, carefully remove the dough and shape it into a large, uniform ball. This step is where you can infuse your creation with your personal touch and culinary flair.
-
Prepare Baking Surface: Lightly grease a cookie sheet to prevent sticking and ensure a beautifully golden crust.
-
Rise Time: Place the shaped dough ball onto the prepared cookie sheet and allow it to rise for approximately 30 minutes. This crucial step allows the yeast to work its magic, creating that desirable airy texture.
-
Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), ensuring it’s adequately heated for the baking process ahead.
-
Bake: Once the dough has completed its rise, carefully transfer the cookie sheet into the preheated oven. Bake the bread for approximately 30 minutes, or until it achieves a golden-brown hue and emits a tantalizing aroma that fills your kitchen with warmth and anticipation.
-
Enjoy: Remove the freshly baked Chile, Cheese, Corn, and Bell Pepper Bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into generous portions. Serve it as a standalone treat, pair it with your favorite soup or salad, or share it with loved ones to spread the joy of homemade goodness.
With its harmonious blend of savory cheese, spicy chiles, sweet corn, and vibrant bell peppers, this bread is sure to become a beloved favorite in your baking repertoire. So, roll up your sleeves, preheat that oven, and embark on a culinary journey that promises to delight your taste buds and warm your soul with every mouthwatering bite! 🍞🌶️🧀🌽
