Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Buttermilk
2 tb Butter
2 Eggs
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 tb Sugar
3/4 ts Salt
3 c Bread flour
2 1/2 ts Yeast (1 pkg Red Star)
Add at Mix Bread beep:
2/3 c Bacon bits (real bacon,
-cooked then chopped, not
-canned or artificial)
2/3 c Shredded cheese

This recipe is a combination of Donna Gorman's
Bacon/Cheese Bread and her Buttermilk Cheese Bread
(cookbook III). I'd made the bacon/cheese bread and it
was good, but it was a rather dense, low loaf. 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!

I then tried it closer to her recipe and, instead of
adding bacon/cheese at the mix bread cycle, I added 1
cup of shredded cheese at the beginning. This loaf
almost brushed the top of my Hitachi! It was HUGE!

I don't know why these rise so well ... I did warm the
buttermilk in the microwave for about 1/2 minute and
the baking soda is unusual. I may try adding a small
amount of baking soda to some other recipes and see
what the result is.

Anyway ... this is now one of our favorite breads! A
loaf is baking right now.
