Savory Cheddar Cheese Bread

By

The bite of cheese in a loaf of plain white bread is always welcome. This bread is very close-grained, and is wonderful for toast or sandwiches — especially grilled cheese! The addition of a half teaspoon of tabasco sauce gives the bread just a hint of heat.

The loaf is designed to bake in a Zojirushi full-sized bread machine, though you can certainly prepare and bake the dough by hand: after its first rise, shape the dough and place it in an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" pan; let it rise, then bake it in a preheated 350°F oven for about 35 to 40 minutes.

Preparation

Step 1

1) Put all of the ingredients into the bucket of your bread machine in the order designated.
2) Program the machine for basic bread, light crust setting. Press Start.
3) Check the dough after about 10 minutes of kneading; it should have formed a cohesive ball, and be slightly sticky. Adjust its consistency with additional milk or flour, if necessary.
4) Allow the machine to complete its cycle. Remove the bread from the machine, and cool it on a rack.

Yield: 1 loaf.
