• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Remove the bread machine pan and ensure the paddle is firmly in place.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of water to the bread machine pan.

Step 3

Place 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, diced into small cubes, into the pan.

Step 4

Carefully add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt to opposite corners of the pan.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the liquid base.

Step 6

Gently add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, spreading it out across the pan to cover the liquid completely.

Step 7

Add 2 tablespoons of dry milk powder on top of the flour.

Step 8

Sprinkle 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast over the dry ingredients, ensuring the yeast does not touch any liquid.

Step 9

Insert the pan securely back into the bread machine and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' program. Choose the 2-pound loaf size and a medium crust setting, if available.

Step 10

Start the machine and allow it to run through its cycle, which typically includes mixing, kneading, proofing, and baking.

Step 11

Once the bread cycle is complete, carefully remove the pan from the machine using oven mitts and let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
