Tasty, soft, moist.... this recipe is a real winner! I followed the first reviewers advice and used 2 tsp measured yeast instead of the 2 1/4 that would normally equal one packet. I also used 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese instead of 1 1/2 (by accident, the cheese poured too fast!). What turned out was some of the most wonderful bread I've ever baked, in a bread machine or by hand. This just might turn out to be my favorite pregnancy craving, even over my husbands chocolate chip cookies (don't tell him that!).

This bread was good. I used the bread machine to make the dough, added maybe 1/4 c grated Asiago in addition to the extra sharp cheddar and sprinkled cheddar on top of the loaf before baking. Loaf rose very quickly so only let rise about 30 min. Baked at 350 for about 25 min and had to cover with foil halfway thru since it was getting too dark on top. Good consistency and taste for sandwiches - I might try to make sandwich/burger rolls next time.

wonderful for me and my bread machine...didn't have the milk powder so omitted it...otherwise...great recipe for me...

This is really tasty! The only thing is that you can't really taste the cheddar. Maybe next time I'll use extra sharp white cheddar. But this was my first recipe to use a bread maker with and it turned out really well! Thanks

I was surprisingly disappointed with this bread. I followed the recipe exactly. The texture turned out fine, but the taste was very bland. Even buttering it didn't help. I'm going to try it again, but I think I will increase the cheese and add some roasted garlic or something to season it. Not bad overall, just not great.

My family LOVED this bread! It made a nice large loaf, one of the best to come out of my bread machine! Thanks for posting, will be making again soon.

Very nice taste but the loaf's top fell in my machine. I am unsure it is my bread machine, since this is the second loaf that has fallen in my new machine. Very tender, probably not good for sandwiches and hard to slice, but great with lots of butter.

My family really liked this bread. I only used 2 tsp of yeast and the bread still rose to high and cause the loaf to fall, but the taste and texture where very good. Will definitly make again.

I didn't have dry milk powder so I substituted the water with milk. The bread turned out perfect. It could have been cheesier. I used shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Maybe I will try it next time with small cubes of cheese. Very good and very easy.

This is absolutely amazing bread!

Wow! This was yummy. No bread machine here, so I used my KitchenAid mixer, proofed the yeast with the sugar and then mixed in the rest. I forgot to add the butter and used 2 T of buttermilk powder in place of the powdered milk, which I didn't have. I also added about a tsp. of dried minced garlic. Rolled it into a rectangle after rising, sprinkled with cheese, rolled up jellyroll style and curled it into a spiral in a 9" cake pan. Brushed with olive oil after it rose and baked till done. Big hit with the family - it came out tasting almost like a croissant and was light and flaky and moist. I plan on trying this again but with bittersweet chocolate instead of the cheese a'la French chocolate bread.

This was pretty good, but I did make a few minor changes. For one thing, I had no milk powder on hand. So, I replaced the warm water with milk for added flavor. I also added 2 tablespoons of garlic powder for some extra flavor. The dough was not coming together at all, so I had to add quite a bit more milk to get it to work. It did make too much bread for my machine, so it rose over the top, then caved in in the middle, since it had no where to go. I would recommend maybe using the dough cycle only, then finishing the bake in the oven. It had a nice taste to it, and I may experiment with it again. It went great with a hearty bowl of chili!

I'm new with the bread machine (it's been a Xmas present...), so I'm just starting to sample recipes: this one was very good indeed, I had little time so fearfully put everything in and chose the "fast" programme. It's been a hit in my family!

Very good bread. I used sharp cheddar and it had just enough cheese flavour without being overpowering. I have another loaf in the breadmaker now for lunches tomorrow. Thanks.

WOW! What a hearty loaf! It wasn't pretty, I'll admit, but it tasted amazing. A thick slice warmed up for about 30 seconds in the microwave makes for a terrific breakfast.
