I made this loaf last night and took the lazy person's approach and let the bread maker do it's thing until a perfect dough was reached. Let it rise again and baked it, absolutely fabulous, will definately be a "go to" recipe for me.<br />Carey<br />South AfricaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-86681138574081226342010-01-25T18:55:46.876-06:002010-01-25T18:55:46.876-06:00i now know the recipe by heart. seriously HUGE hit...i now know the recipe by heart. seriously HUGE hit in my household especially with a nice brisk new england snow fall out.

If I do, I'll be sure to get a loaf of it. Maybe you can improvise with this basic recipe and come up with something that's even closer to Stella's.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-63495316442893017812010-01-10T15:31:39.146-06:002010-01-10T15:31:39.146-06:00In searching for "pumpernickel meal" bre...In searching for "pumpernickel meal" bread recipes, I found your site yesterday -- and then ran across your take on a spicy-hot cheese bread. Well, you got my attention. Have you ever been to the farmers' market on the Capital Square in Madison? Stella's Bakery is well-known for loudly selling their Hot Spicy Cheese Bread at the market. (Here's a bit about them: http://www.dcfm.org/detailsv.asp?ownername=harn&ID=93) As I would diagnose it, it's a fluffy, cinnamon roll-like bread base flavored with jalapeno bits and hot pepper flakes. Then, rather than bits of shredded Cheddar, the dough contains large swaths of provolone and, I think, mozzarella. Many first-time market attenders are urged to look out for the Stella's stand and buy a warm-from-the-oven loaf, and for good reason: it's damn near addictive the first (and maybe second and third) time you eat it. Friends introduced me to the market some seven years ago, and we used to eat most of a loaf on the hour-long drive home. As a fellow bread-baker (though I love to bake everything else, too -- years in 4-H helped with that), I have long wanted to recreate Stella's famous bread. Maybe this year. <br /><br />Anyhow, thanks for your post on such a warm, spicy bread. I hope to try your recipe soon, and I look forward to reading the rest of your blog. <br /><br />Warmest regards from Madison, WI!<br /><br />KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13308740746597839624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-18545389542513657352010-01-07T20:09:05.187-06:002010-01-07T20:09:05.187-06:00Laurie,

Sometimes my imagination goes into overdrive.<br /><br />Melinda,<br />"tasty and tantalizing; not parochial bland bread"--very well written! I don't suppose Mad Men is on British TV? You could be a great sloganeer in a dysfunctional ad agency. I know that must sound so tempting.<br />When I first saw white cheddar, I couldn't imagine how they took out the orange color.

Tasty and tantalizing; not parochial bland bread. It does show how talented you have become in bread making. <br />I quite like the very orange cheddar cheese. Most of the cheddar here is butter yellow and doesn't really have such a nice effect as the orange coloured one does. So I think that the bright orange is a good thing.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616217544023543614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-25222432538361031992009-11-06T12:44:29.529-06:002009-11-06T12:44:29.529-06:00Marie,
