This loaf of bread was a winner – it came out of the bread machine about 30 minutes before the boys got home from school, and 90% of it was eaten by all 3 of them in minutes. It’s got a nice texture, heavier than most bread, but satisfying.
Bread Machine Cheese Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp milk
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 360 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1½ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup fine shredded cheddar cheese
- 1½ tsp bread machine yeast
Directions:
If using a Zojirushi bread machine, add the listed ingredients, ensuring the yeast is nestled into the flour on top.
Set the machine for a basic loaf.
When the kneading cycle begins, check the dough to see if it needs more flour.
Once baked, remove it promptly and knock it out. Let it cool on a wire rack before enjoying it.
Store in a plastic bread bag and eat within 24 hours for optimal taste and texture.
If using a regular bread machine, follow the method for adding the ingredients (including using warm water as called for).
Makes a 2-pound loaf.
