Advantages: Moist, Flavourful, Great for Making Sandwiches

Disadvantages: Addictive and Not Very Healthy when ate in Large Quantities

This is more than just your basic Italian Herb bread. The flavor and nuances take on a whole different meaning to just the word "bread". I believe almost every human being has some type of affinity for breads, and while it may not be the healthiest item for us to injest, that doesn't take away from the fact that it's an eager to consume, vice. This bread machine recipe here is a huge vice for me. I probably make it once every few weeks because of that fact, and I normally NEVER buy bread. Why buy it with all those chemicals and nonsense, when you can make it on your own fresh and warm and tastier than anything storebought?


9 Ounces of 100 Degrees Water
2 Teaspoons of Quick Acting Rapid Rise Yeast
3 and 1/2 Cups of Bread Flour (Bread flour is not really a necessity , but it does enhance the texture, flavor, and softness. You can use Self-Rising, or All Purpose, but if your using All-P don't forget the teaspoon extra of salt and baking powder)
1 or 2 Teaspoons of Salt
2 Tbl Sugar
1/2 Cup of Shreded Pepper Jack Cheese (You can also use Mozzerella or a Swiss Cheese like Jarlsburg)
1/3 cup of diced Red Peppers
2 Small Green Tomatoes Chopped (Green Tomatoes work better than ripened ones b/c they are in this recipe mostly for moisture and not strong flavor, but if you don't have green tomatoes, you can use Tommitillos...ha sorry I can't spell.....or if you MUST, use 2 small roma Tomatoes)
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil (You can also use Veggie Oil)
1/2 small Onion or 3 Shallots
10 small jalepeno slices chopped (you can buy these in a jar or if you want to use a fresh jalepeno just use a very small one and chop that up, I recommend though, the already sliced and pickled kind of jalepenos)
Fresh Basil and Majoram chopped (the amount here is up to you, if you can't find them fresh, then use 1 tsp each of them dried)
1/2 tsp of Oregano
1/2 tsp of Rosemary
1/2 tsp of Garlic powder
1/2 tsp of Coriander
(The spices are still up to you, you can play around with them, but remember not to go overboard=)

Put everything here (in order) into your bread machine. Depending on how your machine is set up, you want to pick the Italian Bread function and it's baking setting on "light" or "normal". Then just turn it on and wait 4 hours for some really divine, moist, fragrant, mouthwatering Bread!
