Ingredients
- 1 cup lukewarm milk*
- 3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese, firmly packed
- 1/4 cup Vermont cheese powder**
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon tabasco sauce, optional
- *Add an additional tablespoon of milk during the winter, or if you live in a dry climate.
- **Substitute grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Directions
1) Put all of the ingredients into the bucket of your bread machine in the order designated.
2) Program the machine for basic bread, light crust setting. Press Start.
3) Check the dough after about 10 minutes of kneading; it should have formed a cohesive ball, and be slightly sticky. Adjust its consistency with additional milk or flour, if necessary.
4) Allow the machine to complete its cycle. Remove the bread from the machine, and cool it on a rack.
Yield: 1 loaf.

- This is the first time my bread ever turned out like a brick. I exchanged APF for white wheat and APF . I set it and took a nap. I woke up and found me a brick. I am going to try again to find out what happened that day. Until then I am not rating this recipe yet. I used Parmesiano Regianno from whole food. I hated to toss it into garbage. What a waste! I checked everything and made sure I was not skipping any. Measurements were correct and all flour and yeast come from KAF. Any advice?
I am sorry this recipe was a disappointment. When using a whole grain in place of AP, it is important to increase the liquid a bit. Whole grains really absorb a lot of liquid and this is most likely your problem. The dough was probably too dry. Next time, for every cup of whole grain flour add back to the recipe 1-3 t. The dough will be stickier so just allow it to rest for about 15 minutes so the moisture can be absorbed some before kneading. Also, Parmesiano Regianno is a drier cheese than cheddar. Next time, use cheddar cheese and add more liquid as recommended. Elisabeth

- The recipe doesn;t say what size bread machine it is for/ Mine is 1-pound and most recipes don't fit.

Sorry for any confusion. Unless specifically called out, all of our bread machine recipes are designed for a full size (1.5#) machine. Frank @ KAF.
11/14/2011- Excellent bread, great flavor, wonderful loaf. I did use half bread flour half whole wheat, instead of All Purpose (my go to combination for bread machine recipes), and I used the Parm. I was amazed because every bread recipe I have ever tried has been too wet, either I am always a little heavy with my liquids or my house is very humid, but this one was spot on without any adjustment during the kneading. I cant wait to try it with some sharp chedder and munster in a grilled cheese.

- This is a wonderful bread -easy to prepare and just let the machine do the work! Super for toast or sandwiches!

- I love this bread. baked it by using only the dough portion of the machine and finished it in the oven. I find that my bread machine doesn't quite cut it on the baking and am using only the dough making portion on most of my tries.

- 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of bread flour, honey for sugar, 2 heaping handfuls of cheddar cheese, cayenne pepper instead of Tabasco and no cheese powder. greased bread machine pan generously with fresh garlic butter. Turned out great. Great for husbands spicy burgers, thanks for the recipe!!!!!

- This is awesome! I didn't have any cheddar on hand, so I used a blended pizza cheese mixture. It smelled wonderful even before it started baking. I may play with the recipe some time, trying it with some whole wheat flour mixed in to make it a bit more healthy. It was super easy to do using the bread machine.
06/23/2011- I made this by hand, not by machine. I had no VT cheese powder, or parmesan, so I added about an 1/8 c. of grated blue cheese! This surely affected the moisture content, so I added nearly 2 oz of flour, just to get it from "batter" to dough, but it kneaded nicely. An hour for the first rise, a little less to rise 1.5" above pan. Baked it 35 min. and it was great. Subtle taste, and no one would be able to identify the tsp of Tabasco, although I'm sure it helped it. Nice bread, great for turkey sandwich or BLT.

- Just made this bread for the second time. This time to go with our last batch of my husband's chili before summer comes . It was a perfect companion. It is especially good grilled. Also discovered when you spread it with peanut butter it tastes just like those little peanut butter/cheese cracker sandwiches , only much better, of course! Also, my husband likes it with a smear of apple jelly. I bake every weekend, but I don't think this one is ever going to last until the next baking day.

- This is simply a marvelous bread. My family loves cheese and this is wonderful served warm with pasta dishes. It also makes delicious toast. It is definitely a family favorite!
