Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 cups lukewarm milk
  • 1/2 cup butter room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups chopped roasted Hatch green chiles well drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 7 cups all-purpose flour plus more as needed

Instructions

  • Dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
  • Add the milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Mix in the green chiles and cheddar cheese.
  • Add 3 cups of flour and mix well. Continue adding flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Divide the dough in half and place each half into a greased loaf pan.
  • Cover and let rise again for about 45 minutes.
  • Bake at 375°F for about 45 minutes.
  • Remove the loaves from the pans and cool on wire racks before slicing.

Notes

  • Drain jarred or canned green chiles very well before adding them to the dough.
  • Add the flour gradually. You may need a little more or less depending on the moisture in the chiles.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing so the crumb can finish setting.
    One loaf can be frozen once completely cooled.
