This savory bread combines the rich flavor of cheddar cheese with the aromatic touch of fresh herbs, perfect for any meal.
Add the warm water to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Add the bread flour, sugar, and salt to the pan.
Layer the dry ingredients on top of the liquid to prevent premature mixing.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, fresh parsley, and dried chives over the dry ingredients.
Distribute the cheese and herbs evenly for consistent flavor.
Make a small well in the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast.
Keep the yeast away from the liquid until the machine starts mixing.
Set the bread machine to the white bread cycle and start.
Check the dough consistency during the kneading phase and adjust with water or flour if needed.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the bread from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure.
Slice and serve the bread as a side or snack.
Pair with butter or a dip for an enhanced experience.
