4 cups unbleached flour
2 tsp garlic powder
2 TBSP medium salsa
½ tsp black pepper
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp (smoked?) paprika
1 tsp dark chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ cup chopped fresh onion
No salt (oops: I added salt by habit)
2 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP butter, room temperature
1½ TBSP buttermilk powder
1 cup shredded cheese (I used a 4-cheese blend; cheddar & Monterrey Jack work well)
1½ cups 2% milk, warmed to room temperature

Make this one in the oven, not in the bread machine: The texture is better, and it cooks through better.
- Put yeast and warm milk in the mixing bowl. Let it set for 5 minutes.
- Add flour, salt, spices (including packaged mix) and butter. Mix at low speed until a soft dough forms. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 3 minutes more. Add most of the cheese and mix until combined.
- Scrape dough down side of bowl (all around) into center, then sprinkle lightly with flour. Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) to keep a crust from forming and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. (Alternatively, let dough rise in bowl in refrigerator 8 to 12 hours.)
- Turn bread to a well-floured board or counter. Divide into two pieces (⅓ & ⅔) for bread pans, or more pieces for smaller loafs.
- Form larger portion into a rectangle; place in an oiled 9- by 5-inch loaf pan; divide smaller portion among small pans, or place on parchment paper. Cover dough with same clean kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until dough completely fills pan and rises above it slightly, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brush each loaf with egg, then sprinkle a little cheese down center of loaf.
- Bake until bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
