I love working with leftovers, like the 6 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese in my fridge.  This bread, when sliced, buttered, and pan fried has a great grilled cheese flavor.  The black pepper adds an additional kick.

Name - Cheddar Cheese Spiral Bread
Source - Personal recipe
Breadmaker - Zojirushi Virtuoso

Ingredient List:

• Bread flour - 468 grams (3 cups).
• Salt - 4 grams (¾ teaspoon).
• Black pepper - 3 grams (1 teaspoon).
• Water - 315 grams (1-⅓ cup).
• Cheddar cheese - 175 grams (6 ounces) shredded.
• Yeast - 3 grams (¾ teaspoon).

Instructions:

• Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl - flour, salt, and black pepper.  Mix well.
• Add the wet ingredients to the loaf pan - water.  Make sure the paddles are installed.
• Add the dry ingredients on top.  Add the yeast last to the top.

Basic white bread.
Added some vital wheat gluten for strength and texture.

Following Bread dad recipe below and the loaf is huge and touches the glass. What am I doing wrong? Too much yeast? I’m using SAF instant and followed the recipe exactly but I do add chia. Could that be my problem? This is the second loaf that has gotten huge with the same recipe. I have a Cuisenart 2lb bread maker.

1 1/2 Cups – Milk (warm) – 345 milliliters 
6 Tablespoons – Unsalted Butter (softened) – 86 grams
4 Cups – Bread Flour (not all purpose flour) – 480 grams
2 Tablespoons – White Granulated Sugar – 25 grams – You can replace the white sugar with light brown sugar for a slightly richer taste.
1 1/2 Teaspoons – Salt – 9 grams
1 1/2 Teaspoons – Bread Machine Yeast (Instant Yeast) – 5.4 grams

We obsessively checked the timer for the 4 hours this took and we are SO happy with how it came out! I took advice from posts on here and got some good flour and yeast, and followed the recipe to a T.

We will now be living off of fresh bread for the foreseeable 🍞🥖🥯

Quick Q - I believe this is a 2lb loaf and the recipe called for 1tbsp sugar to be added. I personally think it’s too sweet for a plain white bread. Will removing or largely reducing the sugar affect the success of the bread??

Do you have any recipe recommendations we have to try now we have begun our bread journey? I’d love to try some seeded or fruit loaves and defo an olive loaf at some point!!

Breaddad recipe. Replaced butter with olive oil and added dry fruits. Used strawberry cake mix. Excellent sweet bread for sugary craving!

I made the King Arthur’s Japanese Milk Bread recipe today. I have previously made a small 9” Pullman loaf. Today I multiplied the recipe by 1.5x (per King Arthur) for a 13” loaf. It didn’t rise as well as I would have liked. It didn’t even reach level with the top of my pan. Any advice?

Tastes great! Used proper measurements this time and it came out all fluffy. Dog approved.

I've made regular yeast bread Italian loaves and also sourdough bread and I have starter I keep, but my daughter doesn't like the sourdough flavor, she's about to be 3 this week and I just want to make her bread she will eat 😅

Help me with recipe and how to work this machine because it is overwhelming and I have no idea where to start, thanks so much!!

1 cup warm water

1/4 cup avocado oil

1/2 cup sourdough starter

3 cups AP flour

2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon yeast

1 1/2 lb and light setting

Same recipe as my previous strawberry + cream cheese kolaches, but rolled out and cut with a donut cutter, then 30min rise, then fried. It made 25 donuts and holes. Glaze is just a simple powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla one that I eyeballed. No recipe really. Everyone loved them 😊

Today's loaf. Best yet. Close to how I want it and why I bought the machine last Christmas. Although I baked it in the oven as it does a more even bake than my machine.

Maiden voyage of a new-to-me Oster 5836. The recipe is below but I modified it by adding 2 tsp minced garlic. I pulled the recipe from a different Oster manual I found online.

2 pound loaf

1 and 1/2 cups water

4 teaspoons olive or vegetable oil

4 cups bread flour

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 teaspoons sugar

1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black or green peppercorns

2 teaspoons yeast

1. Measure and add liquid ingredients (including sourdough starter) to the bread pan.

2. Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to the bread pan.

3. Use your finger to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must NEVER come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure the yeast and carefully pour it into the well.

4. Snap the baking pan into the breadmaker and close the lid.

5. Press “Select” button to choose the Basic setting.

6. Press the “Crust Color” button to choose light, medium or dark crust.

7. Press the “Start/Stop” button.

I ended up doing this rushed bc my mother came over to “help clean” bc I’m preggo. 🙄

Anyway: Bread machine, boiled, and egg-washed. The mess on the right is bc I thought I could treat it like cookie dough 😅😂 The dough is a lot stickier than I thought it’d be, so got out some flour for my hands.

Now it’s in the oven @ 400F for 20 mins. I’ll probably hate them, lol. Maybe next time I’ll be able to take my time and figure out how I can properly add ingredients!
