Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Milk powder (optional, for softness)
Instructions
Place warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast into the bread machine's pan. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
Add the bread flour, salt, softened butter, and milk powder (if using) to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
Select the 'Dough' cycle on your bread machine and start it.
After 5 minutes of kneading, add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dough. Allow the machine to continue the cycle until the dough is fully kneaded and has risen.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine and punch it down gently on a floured surface.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise for 30–45 minutes in a warm place, until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature of the bread reaches 190°F (88°C).
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
