Grilled cheese sandwiches are especially good made with moist slices from this pretty corn-flecked loaf. For a milder chili taste, use green chiles in place of the jalapenos. —Lola Gangwer, Burgoon, Ohio

To prepare dough by hand: Dissolve yeast in warm water (110° to 115°). In a small bowl, add yeast mixture, butter, sugar and salt. Add corn, jalapenos and cilantro. Add flour and cornmeal until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 hour. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a loaf. Cover; and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 30 minutes. Proceed with recipe as written.

Peppers (Hot)

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