No bread machine but I do have a Kitchen Aid mixer. I followed the directions the best I could, warming the beer just enough to proof the yeast with the sugar in the mixer bowl for ten minutes. I added the rest of the wet ingredients, then all the dry. After the dry, I added the shredded cheese. I used Tillamook sharp white. It took another....cup and a half of flour to get the dough less pissy and to get it to grab on the hook and knead. That will happen with most homemade bread that adds cheese. This was a slow riser, for both risings it was about 4 hours, maybe more. I baked this at 350* for just under a half hour. This is a good bread, very crusty and flavorful. I just don't know if it's one of my favorites. If I do this again, I might follow the cooking method of a regular beer bread and forgo the yeast for self-rising flour. Less work and pretty much the same outcome.
