Southwest Breadgilroy

This bread machine loaf is loaded with so much Southwest flavor it could double as a meal on its own.

Black beans, sweet corn, diced Anaheim chiles, jalapeño, sundried tomatoes, and a fearless quarter-cup of garlic all get folded into a whole wheat and cornmeal dough sweetened with honey and enriched with yogurt. Cumin and chili powder tie it all together.

The name tips its hat to Gilroy, California, the garlic capital of the world, and this bread lives up to that reputation. Just toss everything in the bread machine and let it do the work.

Pro Tips

• Drain the black beans thoroughly so excess moisture doesn’t throw off the dough consistency.
• Use plain yogurt, not flavored, for a subtle tang that plays well with the spices.
• Slice thick and toast it the next day. It’s unreal with butter or alongside a bowl of chili.
