That too. And Maine. The concept of a "secure" border is a joke.

     Title: Cheddar-Sriracha Swirl Bread
Categories: Breads, cheese, chilies
  Servings: 1 loaf

  1 3/4 c  whole milk
      2 TB unsalted butter, at room
           temperature
      2 TB sugar
    1/4 oz pk instant dry yeast
      4 c  unbleached all-purpose flour
           plus more for kneading
           Vegetable oil or nonstick
           cooking spray, as needed
      2 ts kosher salt
    1/4 c  Sriracha
      1 c  shredded sharp Cheddar
           cheese

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the milk, butter, and
sugar, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat as soon as the
butter melts. The liquid should be lukewarm to the touch, around 100
F. Allow it to cool to that temperature if necessary. Sprinkle the
yeast over the milk mixture and let sit for 10 minutes to proof.
After about 10 minutes, there should be a layer of froth on the
surface of the mixture, which signifies that the yeast is viable and
ready to sacrifice its own life in the name of good bread.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Pour the milk and
yeast mixture into the bowl of flour and mix with a wooden spoon
until a soft, ragged mixture is formed. Transfer the dough to a
well-floured work surface and knead for 1 minute. Transfer the dough
to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and allow it to
rest, undisturbed for 20 minutes.

After its rest, turn the dough back out onto the well-floured work
surface and knead until a soft, elastic dough results, 3 to 5
minutes. Transfer the dough once more to the lightly oiled bowl,
cover, and allow it to rest in a warm area of the house until
doubled in size, about 2 hours.

Transfer the dough to the work surface and, using your hands, gently
flatten into a 9-inch-wide rectangle. Spread the Sriracha over the
dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the outside edges free of
Sriracha. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the Sriracha, respecting
the same border. It is this border that allows the dough to seal
properly in the next step.

Roll the dough up tightly, lengthwise, similar to making a jelly
roll. Press down on the last roll to seal and make a seam. Lightly
oil a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan. Put the dough, seam side down, into the
pan. Cover and return to the warm spot until the dough has again
doubled in size and is cresting over the top of the pan, 2 to 2 1/2
hours.

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Just before baking, make a 1/4-inch-deep
slit down the center of the loaf using a serrated knife. Place the
loaf pan on the center rack of the oven. Spray the inside walls of
the oven and the top of the loaf with a generous misting of water to
create steam. Quickly close the oven door and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the loaf from the pan and continue baking for an additional
10 to 15 minutes. The center of the loaf should register 190 F on a
thermometer and the bottom of the loaf should sound hollow when
tapped. Let the bread cool completely on a cooling rack before
slicing for best results. Store refrigerated in an airtight
container for up to 3 days.

Makes 1 loaf

In a Pinch: Use a 1-pound ball of fresh pizza dough or defrosted
frozen pizza dough, available at some specialty supermarkets and
friendly neighbourhood pizzerias. Allow the dough to come to room
temperature and flatten the dough into the 9-inch-wide rectangle,
proceeding as directed with Sriracha and cheese, allowing the dough
to rise and then baking as directed.
