Cinco de Mayo is a day that celebrates Mexican independence.  Cinco de Mayo bread is a traditional treat often prepared for this holiday on May fifth, but many people make it all year long.  The bread is traditionally baked in a circular, cast-iron skillet and has flavor notes that come from traditional Mexican ingredients like cornmeal, green chilies, jalapenos, cilantro and creamed corn.  You can use fresh or canned green chilies and jalapenos.  Just make sure you drain off the juice if you’re using canned peppers.

This bread can be made from start to finish in your bread machine, but if you want to recreate the traditional bread you can use the dough setting to make the dough and then transfer to an oiled skillet or circular baking pan and finish in the oven.  We’ll cover both approaches depending on your inclination.  This bread is great with any Mexican dish and is wonderful when dipped into salsa, chili or soups. 

INGREDIENTS:
 1 cup of water at 110 degrees Fahrenheit/43 degrees Celsius
 1 tablespoon of sugar
