MMMmmm... so good. Made basically according to recipe, but halved it, and used fat-free cream cheese. Also, used 2 cups of all purpose flour and two cups whole wheat bread flour. Turned out great!

Yum!! I absolutely loved this-a couple of minor adaptions- I chopped up the chipolte peppers instead of pureeing them and baked them on a hot cookie sheet that was placed in the oven as it preheated. It's also a very beautiful looking bread. I like the addition of cheese cubes (as opposed to shredded) because it made swirls of cheese. Used a kitchenaid stand mixer for the mixing and kneading - and it was pretty easy.

I have to admit, I followed the recipe but didn't love it. It was okay but we threw the rest away after having the first few slices. I might make the recipe again as a standard cheese bread with some modifications. Maybe we didn't make it right but it wasn't one of our best breads.

This bread is delicious! I made one loaf for home and one loaf for work and they were a big hit. The dough was tough to knead by hand with the various cheeses, but the labor was worth it. I removed the chipotle seeds to decrease the fire. I baked two loaves together on a 12.5"-diameter pizza stone; they barely fit!

Used 2/3 cup of chipotle pepper puree with the seeds (I just chopped up the peppers myself). I used mild cheeses b/c that's what I had, but it was still amazing. Made it in the kitchen aide with the dough hook for the most part, although I had to pull it out to knead in some of the flour that would not incorporate. It is a MESSY dough, but so worth it. Baked to an internal temp of 190 degrees. Covered with foil after ten minutes to prevent over-browning. Even though my friends know I love to bake, everyone at my church community group thought I had purchased this at a bakery. It looked and tasted amazing, although you might leave out the seeds if you don't like REALLY spicy bread.

OMG! So good. I loved it right out of the oven, but toasted is excellent, too! I added more flour when I was kneading in the chipotle in adobo because it got very sticky, but other than that, I did not change a thing. I also left the seeds in. It has a kick, but not to much.

Very labor intensive time consuming recipe but well worth the effort. The family loved it. It made a wonderful toast too. I know the dough won't be as good but I am going to try adding the cheeses and chipotle to thawed and raised frozen bread dough letting it raise again.

This bread is decadent! Made a few modifications in that I used cheese crumbles (in the shredded cheese aisle of the store) which allowed for chunks of cheese mmmmm!, made loaves (think Italian bread) and basted with water to give it a crustier crust. All around a great recipe - although a bit labor intensive, but TOTALLY worth it!

Thank goodness I would never do anything as absurd as give up carbs, otherwise I would never have tasted this extraordinary loaf. The cream cheese adds a nice texture and flavor layer. I used chipotle with the seeds, and the heat is about right for me, and I tend to lean toward the spicy side of life. A keeper!
