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.
