Cheddar Chive Bread Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the cheese, chives, butter, sugar, salt, thyme and 3 cups flour. Beat on medium for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Punch dough down. Shape into two loaves and place in greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. , Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients into your bread machine according to the manufacturers directions and bake on the white bread cycle.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper to a large bowl. Whisk to break up any lumps of flour. Add the Cheddar and chives. Stir to evenly combine the ingredients. Set aside.
• Add the buttermilk and egg to a 2-cup measuring cup. Use a fork to scramble the egg into the buttermilk.
• Add the buttermilk mixture to the bowl with the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly flour your hands and knead the dough until it comes together, about 1 minute. Flip the dough so that it is seam-side down and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Use a serrated knife to cut a 1/2-inch-thick X on the top of the dough.
• Bake until the bread is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing.

Steps:

• Add ingredients to your machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer of your machine, adding the cheese with the milk.
• Select the cycle ~ either basic white if you plan to bake in the bread machine or dough if you plan to shape and bake in your oven.
• Dough may appear dry at first but will become more moist as the cheese is incorporated into the dough.

Steps:

• Place ingredients in bread machine pan in order suggested by manufacturer.
• Select regular, rapid or delayed-time bake cycle and follow manufacturer's directions for starting machine.

Steps:

• Weigh out your flour; you'll find its weight by toggling to "ounces" at the top of the ingredient section above. Or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Combine the flour with the remaining ingredients and mix to form a shaggy dough.
• Knead the dough - by hand, mixer, or bread machine set to the dough cycle - until it forms a smooth, somewhat tacky ball, adding more flour or water if necessary.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 60 to 90 minutes, until it's puffy though not necessarily doubled in bulk.
• Lightly grease a 10-cup party bundt pan or other tube-style pan.
• Gently deflate the dough and form it into a large ball. Use your fingers to pierce a hole through the center of the ball and place the resulting dough ring into the prepared pan.
• Cover the pan with greased plastic and let the dough rise for 60 to 90 minutes, until it's puffy and starting to fill the pan. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Uncover the pan, and bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes, until it's golden brown on top; a digital thermometer inserted into the center will read 190°F.
• Remove the bread from the oven, allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
• While you're waiting for the bread to cool, cook and chop the bacon (we recommend baking it), and chop the chives.
• In a medium bowl combine the bacon with the cheese.
• Once the loaf has cooled, slice it down to within 1" of the base (you'll want the bottom to remain unsliced in order to maintain the ring), using the scalloped pattern as a guide if the loaf was baked in a party bundt pan, or cutting at 1" intervals if it was baked in another tube-style pan.
• Gently pull each section of the bundt away from its neighbor and fill the cavity with a heaping tablespoon of the bacon-cheddar mixture.
• Once all the cavities have been filled, sprinkle the chopped chives over the entire loaf.
• Tent the filled bread with foil, and return it to a 350°F oven. Bake the filled bread for 25 to 30 minutes, removing the foil for the final 5 to 10 minutes of baking, until the cheese has fully melted into the cavities.
• Remove the filled bread from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
• Store any leftover bread in the refrigerator for a day or so; freeze for longer stor.
