1
This recipe is a combination of Donna Gorman's Bacon/Cheese Bread and her Buttermilk Cheese Bread (cookbook III).
2
I'd made the bacon/cheese bread and it was good, but it was a rather dense, low loaf.
3
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!
4
I then tried it closer to her recipe and, instead of adding bacon/cheese at the mix bread cycle, I added 1 c. of shredded cheese at the beginning.
5
This loaf almost brushed the top of my Hitachi!
6
It was HUGE!
7
I do not know why these rise so well ...
8
I did hot the buttermilk in the microwave for about 1/2 minute and the baking soda is unusual.
9
I may try adding a small amount of baking soda to some other recipes and see what the result is.
10
Anyway ... this is now one of our favorite breads!
11
A loaf is baking right now.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
