Start by roasting the garlic. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off a garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and roast for 30-40 minutes until soft and golden. Let it cool before squeezing the cloves out and mashing them.
Add the water (warm, around 110°F), olive oil, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan.
Add the all-purpose flour next, ensuring it completely covers the liquid ingredients.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top of the flour, ensuring it does not touch the liquids.
Place the bread machine pan in the machine and select the Basic or White Bread setting. Choose the 2-pound loaf size and crust color of your preference (light, medium, or dark). Press start.
When the machine beeps during the mixing/kneading cycle (typically 5-10 minutes in, depending on your machine), add the mashed roasted garlic and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Allow the bread machine to complete its cycle (mixing, kneading, rising, and baking).
Once the bread is done, carefully remove it from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory treat or side dish.
