3 cups bread flour
1 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
How to Make Bread Machine Cheese Bread

- When the cheese has melted, remove the bread from the baking pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Tips Tricks and FAQs
- Be sure you keep your water temperature right at 100 to 110 degrees. Any cooler may not activate the yeast and any hotter may kill the yeast.
- Check the date on your yeast. You don’t want to use expired yeast when making bread.
- Before slicing your bread, be sure to let it cool and use a serrated knife.
- You can omit the cheese from the top if you would like.
Storage
You will want to store your bread in an airtight bread bag. It will keep for about 4 days.
Freezer
If you would like to freeze your cheese bread, you will want to wrap it tightly in plastic. Once wrapped place in the freezer. This will last for about 6 months.
Bread flour is different from all purpose flour. Bread flour has a higher amount of protein and gluten to create a nice chewy soft bread. If you can’t find bread flour, you can use all purpose flour as a last resort, but it will change the texture of your bread.
