This unique loaf combines the bold flavors of sharp cheddar cheese and beer, enhanced by a hint of dry mustard for a distinctive twist. A melt-in-your-mouth interior with a golden crust makes it perfect for pairing with soups, stews, or even a cozy brunch spread. With just 10 minutes of prep time, your bread machine handles the rest, transforming a simple set of ingredients into a show-stopping artisan-style bread. Whether served warm with butter or as the foundation for an epic grilled cheese, this easy recipe is a must-try for cheese lovers and home bakers alike.
Gather all ingredients and ensure your bread machine's pan is clean and ready for use.
Add beer, melted butter, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bread machine pan. Ensure the ingredients are spread evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the dry mustard powder, salt, and sugar over the liquid ingredients.
Add the all-purpose flour next, carefully making sure it fully covers the wet ingredients to create a barrier.
Create a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast into the well. This ensures the yeast does not activate prematurely.
Place the pan into your bread machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting, depending on your machine's options. Choose the proper crust color (light, medium, or dark) according to your preference.
Start the machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the loaf. This process usually takes about 3 hours for most bread machines.
Once the bread has finished baking, carefully remove the pan from the machine using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices warm or at room temperature, ideally with a pat of butter or alongside a hearty soup.
