CHEDDAR BACON BREAD
When we set out to develop a cheese bread for the
Bread Machine, the decision was to go whole hog and use
bacon as well. What a dynamite combo! If you're
watching cholesterol, this bread is not for you...well,
maybe one bite would be okay.

crumbled bacon. Reserve remaining bacon for second
kneading. All ingredients must be at room temperature.

1 cup plus 3 tablespoons plus I teaspoon water

before the end of the second kneading, add the other
half of crumbled bacon. Bread will be ready in 4 hours
