Ingredients

• 1 cup water (70° to 80°)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
• 1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

• 2 tablespoons chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

• In bread machine pan, place the first 6 ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

• With fingertips, make several dimples over top of dough. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon oil. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onions in remaining oil until tender. Add the chipotle peppers, salt and mashed garlic; saute 2-3 minutes longer. Sprinkle over dough.
• Bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes longer. If desired, top with chopped chives. Cut into serving portions; serve warm.
