The green color is strange. I thought it would be flecks. Anyway it is good.

Very simple, easy and tasty bread for the bread machine. I used fresh, steamed, and well-drained spinach in place of the frozen spinach. I did not bother to chop the spinach because it did so in the machine. This makes a very large loaf of bread, so make sure your bread machine can handle 3 cups of flour. I found out the hard way that mine could not. It baked fine, it just was not pretty as it rose and baked right out of the baking chamber. DH really enjoyed the taste of this bread and he is not a spinach fan. It was just a nice subtle taste and the cheese added extra flavoring. The next time I make this; I will once again use fresh spinach and let the machine do the blending. But, I will then transfer the dough to a regular bread pan, let it rise, and then bake at 350° for about 30-40 minutes.

I have made this recipe many times & think it is fantastic! I often use swiss chard in place of the spinach, which gives a smoky, hearty flavor. To use fresh instead of frozen I weigh out 5 ounces, then nuke it a couple minutes. Do drain it but you don't need to chop it (the bread machine does that for you). If you don't like the bite of the pepper, you can substitute garam masala.

I also make this with rainbow swiss chard... very pretty. and aged cheddar really adds flavour. I make the dough in the bread machine, let it rise a 2nd time, then bake at 375 for around 20 min.

I took the other reviewers' advice and added some garlic powder. The bread came out with a great flavor, but it was extremely concave (it fell in on itself like nothing I've ever seen!) and dense. I might try it next time with bread flour instead of all-purpose and report back.

This was a great bread. My bread maker sucks so the bread collapsed and was dense, but the flavor was wonderful.

I got my freshly baked loaf out of the oven 30 minutes ago and I'm still surprised at the outcome. It rose beautifully and it is delicious. I added 20% more spinach for flavour and 20% more water because I couldn't work with the flour (the cheese makes the batch somewhat more sticky). I baked at 325 (165 Celsius) based on other bread recipes around here and for 40-45 minutes. If I can make it work, anyone can.

Love this bread - my daughter doesn't like the texture of spinach so I always have to add it to fritters and the likes - this was a much healthier alternative! I used instant yeast, so after kneading I just cut the dough in three and rolled each piece into a sausage shape, braided them straight on to a baking tray, and let the braided loaf rise without punching it down. Sprinkled on some sesame seeds just before baking. It turned out light and very tasty - 5 stars!!

I made this to go with leek & potato soup and my family went crazy over it. Even those who don't like spinach! I will definitely be making this again.
