Ensure your bread machine pan is clean and ready. Place the ingredients in the pan in the order recommended by the machine's manufacturer—usually liquids first, followed by dry ingredients, and yeast last.
Add buttermilk and the egg into the bread pan. Ensure the egg is beaten slightly before adding.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the liquids.
Add softened butter by spooning small pieces evenly into the pan.
Layer all-purpose flour evenly over the wet ingredients to form a barrier.
Sprinkle sugar, salt, and baking powder evenly over the flour.
Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture, avoiding exposing the liquids, and add the instant yeast into the well.
Place the pan into your bread machine and secure it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting, depending on your bread machine, and choose your preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark). The default cycle time should be around 3 hours.
Start the bread machine, and allow it to mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread automatically.
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine and turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or freeze for longer preservation.
