Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Water warm, 100 - 110 ℉
  • 1 tablespoon Butter room temperature
  • ¼ cup Cooked Bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
  • ¾ cup Cheddar cheese or any kind you prefer
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 1½ tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 cup Bread flour
  • 1½ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the ingredients in your bread machine mixing and baking pan in the order recommended by your manufacturer. Typically, you will first add the warm 100 - 110 ℉ water first, followed by the butter.
    1 cup Water, 1 tablespoon Butter
  • With additives like bacon and cheese, they will typically be added to the water next. Add the beaten egg at this time also.
    ¼ cup Cooked Bacon, ¾ cup Cheddar cheese, 1 Egg
  • Most bread machines will have you add all the dry ingredients on top of any liquid or moist ingredients. At this point, add the sugar, salt, bread flour, and very last, the active dry yeast.
    1½ tablespoon Sugar, 1 teaspoon Salt, 3 cup Bread flour, 1½ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
  • Program your bread maker to the "Basic" setting for a 1 ½ lb loaf with a light or medium crust, and turn it on to start mixing.
  • Remove the bread from the bread maker baking pan when the timer signals the baking program is complete. Use a fork or a hook to remove the paddle if it's stuck in the bottom of the bread.
  • Set on a wire rack to cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Use warm water, not hot water. Hot water can kill the yeast. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal results.
  • Don't overload the bread machine. Stick to the recommended recipe quantities to avoid overflow.
  • If the dough seems too dry after the initial mixing cycle, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches a soft and elastic consistency.
