Chilli bread is one of the popular dishes in bakeries. I have tasted chilli bread once at a bakery as I was very tempted to see it. It tasted so good but was very spicy for my tastebuds so had a thought of recreating it at home. Chilli bread is not very new its just like any other Indo chinese chilli recipes.

Bread chilli is popular in Indian bakeries. I have seen it placed ready in a paper plate with a cling wrap on it. The red color is so popping and tempting to see through the glass mirror.

Chilli bread is just another variation of chilli parotta that is popular in restaurants. Chilli idli is another variation to make. It is more or less like the manchurian recipes the main variation is fresh red chilli paste is added. Manchurian dishes are slightly on the sweeter side but chilli recipes are spicy.

This was loved by all at home including the lil one who runs miles away seeing the spicy dishes. I had few leftover bread slices and luckily our homegrown spring onion so this chilli bread suddenly popped my mind to try it.

To beging with first toast the bread slices in oil until crip and golden, set aside. A basic sauce is made along with garlic, onion, capsicum along with red chilli paste and tomato sauce. Add littler water and boil the sauce for few mins, finally add the toasted bread pieces and toss well. Finally garnish with spring onion and switch off.

Using my no-knead, overnight method, and baking the bread in a covered pot, it’s easy to get a well risen, flavoursome loaf with a crunchy, cheesy crust.

You can make this bread using either instant yeast or a sourdough starter. Full instructions in the recipe card at the end of the post.

My Roasted Onion Sourdough was one of my early experiments, developed not long after I’d perfected my no-knead sourdough method. The powerfully flavoured bread I want to share with you today is similar as it includes onions sweetened by slow cooking.

But you don’t have to be a sourdough breadmaker to try this moist, flavoursome bread. In the detailed recipe card at the end of the post I tell you how to make

Virtually all the bread I make these days is started the night before I’m going to bake it. Like this loaf, most of them don’t require kneading either. In fact, my dough starts off so wet that you’d have trouble kneading it even if you wanted to.

This unconventional method works, you can read my post about Crusty Homemade Bread here . But it’s not absolutely necessary as I do give full instructions in this post.

Briefly, kneading develops gluten. And gluten is a protein that helps bread rise. However, a wetter than usual dough, combined with a longer fermentation time, will also develop the gluten.

Additionally, my method of initially baking the bread in a very hot, lidded pot helps with the rise. That’s because the atmosphere in the pot becomes steamy and moist, allowing the dough to stay softer for longer. This prevents a crust forming too early which would stop the rising.

Once cooled a little, I mix this with the flour, some nigella or onion seeds, salt, water, and either dried quick yeast or my recently fed sourdough starter. I combine everything by vigorously stirring with a spoon: no kneading, remember. It’s then covered and left overnight.

The next step is to add most of the cheese. I use a mature cheddar, but any robustly flavoured cheese is fine.

I find the easiest way to incorporate the cheese is to first flatten out the dough a little then sprinkle the cheese over.

Lifting up one side of the dough, I fold it over the cheese. Then I just keep folding until the cheese is evenly distributed, shaping the dough into a ball as I go.

How long this takes will depend partly on whether you’ve used dried yeast or a sourdough starter and partly on the temperature of the room. As a general guide, a yeasted dough will need around 30 minutes and a sourdough 60-90 minutes.

To test whether any dough is fully proved and ready to bake, I use what I call ‘the poke’ test. If the depression left by a finger pressed into the dough springs back slowly rather than quickly, but still leaves a slight indentation, then it’s ready to bake. However, if the depression springs back immediately then you need to leave it for longer.

When ready to bake, take the lid off the hot pot and carefully flip in the dough. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese then slash a cross on top.

After 30 minutes the bread is taken out of the pot and sat directly on the oven shelf to finish baking. This usually takes between 8-15 minutes, depending on whether I’ve used dried yeast or sourdough starter. When done, the loaf should sound hollow when tapped underneath.

The bread will smell wonderful, but it’ll be much better if you can leave it to cool a little before tucking in.

But you can also use it as you would other bread, in a sandwich. Hummus with crunchy veg like shredded carrot, chopped peppers and fresh red onion slices is particularly good.

While the bread should remain fine to eat for 2-3 days or can be frozen, I’ve found that if it’s gone a little stale it makes a sensational toasted sandwich. The buttered outsides go wonderfully crispy in the sandwich press of course. But here the cheese and onion in the bread caramelize and develop the flavour even more.

Use different cheeses, vary the quantity or type of chillies to make it hotter, or cook fresh chillies along with the onion instead of using dried.
