JALAPENO CHEESE BREAD RECIPE FOR BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Put all ingredients except for the sliced jalapenos and shredded cheese into the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Usually, this means adding the wet ingredients, then the flour (spread out), with the dry ingredients on top.
• Set the bread machine to the "white" loaf setting.
• Select the light crust setting.
• Select the 1.5 lb loaf size.
• Turn on the bread machine.
• When the machine beeps during the kneading cycle, it's time to add your cheese and jalapenos! (Reserve a small amount of the shredded cheddar and sliced jalapenos to add to the top of the loaf later). This is a great time to check the consistency of the dough. Please see the notes above for more information, but basically, you don't want the dough to be too wet or too dry. I usually add a light dusting of flour at this point, but you may not have to.
• Keep an eye on your dough during the proofing cycle. This recipe is very active and alive compared to many bread machine recipes. You will likely need to punch the dough down once or twice during this period. Do not twist or mess with the dough too much. Simply punch it down lightly to release the trapped gasses.
• Remove the paddle(s) if applicable.
• When the baking cycle begins, add the reserved sliced jalapenos and shredded cheese to the top of the loaf.
• When the bread machine beeps, it's done! Carefully remove the loaf pan using an oven mitt, by twisting and lifting upwards. Remove the loaf and allow it to cool on a cooling rack.
• Once cooled, slice the bread using a bread knife, and enjoy with fresh cultured butter, or make a grilled cheese!

CRUSTY FRENCH BREAD FOR BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• 1. Put ingredients in bread machine,wet ingredients first, set on dough setting
• 2. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape into 2 baguettes by making a flat rectangle out of your dough, then folding the top and bottom towards the middle, like an envelope, and sealing the seam with your fingers. Keep repeating the folding and sealing, stretching the rectangle lengthwise as you go, until it's about 12 to 14 inches long and 2 inches wide. Fold and seal either end to round. Flip seam-side down and place on a sheet pan or baguette pan that has been dusted with cornmeal. Score the tops of the loaves, making deep diagonal slits 1/2-inch deep, cover with a dishcloth and let rise in a warm environment until they have doubled in size, 25 minutes.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and position your oven racks with one on the bottom and the other in the middle. Place an oven-safe (non-glass) bowl or pan on the bottom rack. Baste top of loaves with a beaten egg white mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water.
• 4. When your bread has doubled for the second time, remove the towel and quickly and simultaneously, slide the sheet tray with the baguettes onto the middle rack while carefully throwing the ice cubes into the bowl on the bottom rack. The ice will create a burst of steam that will give you a nice crispy crust. Quickly shut the oven door so no steam escapes. Bake the baguettes until golden brown, 15 minutes.
