Yum!  This is my kind of bread! Thank you Tracy @ It’s a T-Sweets Day for hosting this month’s Bake Along, and Tina @ Kristabella’s Hodgepodge for giving us this Fantastic recipe!

Let me be straight with you, I have only made a yeast bread once before.  It was a good experience and that is why I thought I could try another go at this bread.  Unfortunately, Tina’s recipe uses a bread machine, and I don’t have one.  So, I had to go off of my experience from the last time.  Luckily, for me, I am late to this baking party and I was able to use the hints and tips from some of the other bakers in the group.

These tips really helped, and I was able to estimate the time to rise and the baking time.  My bread did not turn out pretty.  It was pretty gooey when mixing, and I should have used more flour, but I was afraid it would get tough.  The recipe called for bread flour, and I only used regular flour, so maybe that was my problem.  The dough didn’t rise as well as some of the other bakers’ bread, but I assume that is because it was cold in my house and I should have been patient and let it rise longer.  I added more chili powder, thanks to the tips, but I didn’t let the yeast dissolve enough in the milk.  So, it had a more yeasty taste rather than a chili taste.

Because of my lack of patience, the bread tasted like a beer bread rather than a chili bread.  I don’t mind this though, I mean, there isn’t too many combinations that are better than beer and chocolate.  And that is what this bread reminds me of.  Overall, I had two slices right off the bat.  It will be breakfast for the next few days, if my family doesn’t gobble it up before me!
