“My mother loves spicy foods, so I created this crusty, rustic loaf just to suit her taste,“ writes Natalie Ann Gallagher from Clovis, California. “Now my whole family enjoys its zesty flavor and asks for it often.“

Ingredients

1 cup warm fat-free milk (70° to 80°)
1/2 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups bread flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
FILLING:
3/4 cup chopped seeded jalapeno peppers
3 garlic cloves, minced
5 teaspoons butter, softened, divided
1 teaspoon garlic salt
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

In bread machine pan, place the first eight ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
In a small bowl, combine the jalapenos and garlic; set aside. When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half.
For each loaf, roll one portion of dough into a 14x9-in. rectangle. Spread with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, 1 tablespoon cheese and 1/3 cup jalapeno mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Place in a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes.
Melt remaining butter; brush over loaves. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and jalapeno mixture.
Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

A big hit with the family! I didn't find it spicy at all, considering the amount of jalapenos included. Next time I may add more garlic and be a bit more generous with the butter on the inside.

I just made this bread today and it is delicious! I just cut into it a few minutes ago and have already polished off 2 slices. It was easy to make and I love the swirl design you get from rolling it up. I added some cheddar cheese inside with the jalapeno mixture. It would be fun to also make a cinnamon swirl bread with this recipe as well : ) YUM!
