1 c Buttermilk
2 tb Butter
2 Eggs
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 tb Sugar
3/4 ts Salt
3 c Bread flour
2 1/2 ts Yeast (1 pkg Red Star)
Add at Mix Bread beep:
2/3 c Bacon bits (real bacon,
-cooked then chopped, not
-canned or artificial)
2/3 c Shredded cheese
This recipe is a combination of Donna Gorman’s Bacon/Cheese Bread and
her Buttermilk Cheese Bread (cookbook III). I’d made the bacon/cheese
bread and it was good, but it was a rather dense, low loaf. When I
saw the buttermilk cheese bread recipe, I decided to make a few
modifications and combine the two recipes … the result is a tall,
utterly delicious loaf!
I then tried it closer to her recipe and, instead of adding
bacon/cheese at the mix bread cycle, I added 1 cup of shredded cheese
at the beginning. This loaf almost brushed the top of my Hitachi! It
was HUGE!
I don’t know why these rise so well … I did warm the buttermilk in
the microwave for about 1/2 minute and the baking soda is unusual. I
may try adding a small amount of baking soda to some other recipes
and see what the result is.
Anyway … this is now one of our favorite breads! A loaf is baking
right now.
