Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup green olives, pitted and sliced
Instructions
Add the warm water, olive oil, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan.
Pour the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, creating an even layer in the pan.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast, ensuring it does not come into contact with the wet ingredients.
Close the bread machine lid and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting on your bread machine. Set the crust color to 'Medium' (or your preferred option).
Start the machine and let it mix the dough. When the machine signals (usually during the kneading phase or at the 'add ingredient' alert), add the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green olives.
Allow the bread machine to complete the full cycle, which typically includes kneading, rising, and baking.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread from the bread pan and place it on a wire rack to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
