Corn-Jalapeño Bread

This lively bread has corn and the added kick of jalapeño chiles. It's a great bread to accompany any Southwest-style meal.

Corn Jalapeno Bread

Prep: 10 min | Yield: 1 1/2 pound loaf, 12 slices

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons water
  • 2/3 cup Green Giant® Niblets® frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon chopped jalapeño chile
  • 3 1/4 cups Gold Medal® Harvest King® or Better for Bread™ bread flour
  • 1/3 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine or quick active dry yeast

Instructions

  1. Measure carefully, placing all ingredients in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
  2. Select Basic/White cycle. Use Medium or Light crust color. Do not use delay cycle.
  3. Remove baked bread from pan, and cool on wire rack.

Notes

If your bread machine has a 2 pound vertical pan, the loaf will be short but will still have good texture and flavor. If your bread machine has a horizontal pan, however, there isn't enough dough to make a good loaf of baked bread. We also found that we didn't have good results in bread machines with glass-dome lids.

Did You Know...Jalapeño chiles are named after Jalapa, the capital of Veracruz, Mexico. The seeds and membrane inside the chile contain a compound called capsaicin, which creates the heat of the chile. This compound also can burn your skin and eyes, so be sure to wear plastic gloves when handling chiles and wash your hands thoroughly when finished.

Planned-Overs: This Chili-Cheddar Spread is a great way to use any extra corn: Mix a 3-ounce package of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons milk until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup whole kernel corn, 3/4 teaspoon chili powder and a sliced green onion. This makes about 3/4 cup spread, so cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
