As I’ve stated many times before, I really haven’t had the easiest time learning how to bake. I like to stick to hearty meals that can be paired with beer. The closest I get to baking is jazzing up a boxed cake mix for something sweet or pizza crust for something savory. However, I was willing to give baking a try so I could make this bread for a specific sandwich I am trying to recreate.
After a little searching, I found and baked this recipe for Dill Pickle Bread from Delish. It turned out fabulous, and the recipe was so simple that I figured it was a perfect one to adapt for this. Guess what? It turned out exactly how I wanted. Yeah! So now on to the recipe for this spicy Salsa Bread.
Ingredients
This spicy quick bread recipe has-
- The salsa recipe for the bread base has tomatoes with green chilies, garlic, cumin, sliced jalapenos, and red onion
- Bread batter is made with flour, eggs, baking powder, salt, sugar, sour cream, and oil
What does Salsa Bread taste and look like?
Salsa bread tastes savory with hints of chili, jalapeno, and cumin in it. The center is dense, so don’t expect it to be light and fluffy or doughy in the middle. When this bread is sliced, you will see holes in the center.
How to make salsa bread step-by-step
First, let’s start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and making the easy homemade salsa.
In a food processor, combine the drained tomato with green chilies, jalapenos, garlic cloves, cumin, and red onion. Pulse until there are no longer chunks, and it has a slightly soupy consistency.
In another bowl or in the food processor, start to make the bread base. Add sour cream, vegetable oil, egg, and salsa mixture.
Stir to mix all the wet ingredients together.
Now start adding dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Prepare a bread pan with spray or oil then add dough to the pan.
Place the pan into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife comes out clean in the middle.
Let the bread cool for 10 minutes then slice and eat.
Tips & Variations
- Make sure to keep the salsa slightly soupy consistency before adding to the base, do not drain.
- Use fresh tomatoes and jalapenos in place of the canned tomato and pickled jalapenos.
