Easy Cheesy Chilli Cob

This no-knead, Easy Cheesy Chilli Cob is so quick and delicious you’ll be hooked once you’ve made it!

It was Sunday morning and I just had the urge to make some flavoured bread to go with the soup we were going to have for dinner. It didn’t take me long to decided to make a cheesy chilli loaf as I’d recently received a lovely delivery of Gran Luchito smoked chilli products to try.

When my husband clapped eyes on the dried smoked chilli that was used to decorate the parcel, the smell alone sent him into a frenzy and he asked if he could eat it! You’d think we were a bunch of feral cats who’d just been sent cat nip as (apart from my daughter) we all love chilli.

Gran Luchito chilli products are made in Mexico with five rare chillies, which are smoked to give their depth of flavour and preserve their taste, garlic is also added to compliment the mix. Before you even taste the wonderful different flavours the aroma entices you first.

The first product we tried was the mayo with some chicken and I’m not joking, it was so good I could eat it straight out of the jar; I’ve never wanted to do that with any other flavoured mayonnaise! Next I stirred some of the smoked chilli paste into my Chilli, Bacon & Chickpea Pasta which gave the dish a whole new wonderful depth of flavour. I’ve yet to try the Honey version of the paste but I’m sure that will be fab and would probably go well in this bread too!

I must also mention the Marriage’s 100% Canadian Very Strong White Flour that I used, it’s the softest most gorgeous flour that myself and my daughter have ever made bread with and I think the results speak for themselves!

Anyway, as Ronnie Corbett would say, I digress!

Having decided that mature cheddar would be a perfect bed fellow to the smoked chilli paste I invited my daughter to come and help make the loaf. Okay, I was angling for her to do all the work as she is my own little female version of Paul Hollywood.

But no, once she heard the word chilli she certainly wasn’t going to help and she wouldn’t be eating the bread either.

Oh dear, I thought and started thinking of other bread flavours I could make. But my yearning for the loaf I’d intended took over and I thought that if she didn’t like it she could have some supermarket bread instead!

I wanted to make a quick and easy loaf so based my recipe on the Spelt & Wholemeal No-Knead Loaf I’d made before. The result was a beautiful loaf with a smoky, chilli, cheese flavour that even turned my daughter around when she saw it.

Noticing a chunk of chilli in her slice I remarked that maybe she’d like a different one but no, she absolutely love this bread so I’m very glad I ignored her! I used 1 tsp of smoked chilli paste but if you wanted a stronger chilli flavour you could use more but I thought it was perfect just the way it was.

The Easy Cheesy Chilli Cob went so well with our Glenda’s Winter Lentil Soup that I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much at one sitting.

The children also demanded that I use it for their packed lunches for the following day and my son also insisted on having the Gran Luchito Mayo for an extra kick in his sandwich!

We were left with a thick crust which I sliced and toasted the next day to go with our leftover soup, it makes very good toast too:-)

So I think we are now all addicted to Gran Luchito and I for one don’t want to find a cure!
