Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons Fresh chives (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal results.
In the bread machine pan, add the water, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the wet ingredients.
Add the all-purpose flour, making sure to cover the liquid completely.
Sprinkle the dry milk powder, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives over the flour.
Make a small well in the center of the flour (avoid reaching the liquid) and add the active dry yeast.
Secure the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' cycle. Choose the crust setting of your preference (light, medium, or dark).
Start the machine and let it mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread. This process typically takes about 3 hours, depending on your bread machine model.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the pan from the machine and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
