Cheddar Sriracha Swirl Bread Recipes

SPICY SRIRACHA BREAD

Steps:

• Combine water, Sriracha and yeast in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes until frothy.
• Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 2 3/4 cups flour, salt, and egg to yeast mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel sticky).
• Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes.
• Roll dough into a 14 x 7-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Roll up the rectangle tightly, starting with a short edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets; pinch seam and ends to seal. Place roll, seam side down, in an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat surface of dough with cooking spray; cover and let rise in a warm place 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Bake for 40 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom and loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan, and brush with melted butter. Cool on a wire rack.

SRIRACHA SWIRL BREAD

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir together water, sugar and yeast; let stand 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix 3 cups flour and the salt in large bowl. In another small bowl, beat 2 of the eggs, the oil and honey. Pour egg mixture and yeast mixture into dry ingredients; stir until wet dough forms.
• On floured work surface, knead dough 7 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until dough is smooth. Transfer to oiled bowl; cover bowl with damp kitchen towel. Let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 9x5-inch loaf pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray.
• On sheet of cooking parchment paper or a floured work surface, pat out dough into about 13x11-inch rectangle. Brush dough evenly with Sriracha sauce. Roll up dough jelly-roll fashion. Cut roll in half lengthwise; twist 2 halves together. Fold dough in half; place in loaf pan.
• Beat remaining egg with splash of water; brush over top of loaf. Sprinkle onion over egg wash.
• Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until top is golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
