Bread Machine Spicy Cheese Loaf

If your bread machine has been collecting dust, this is the recipe to break it back out.

Sharp cheddar melts right into the dough while dry mustard and a hit of Worcestershire give every slice a warm, tangy kick that plain white bread could never dream of.

The whole thing comes together in about 5 minutes of hands-on time. Dump, press start, and walk away.

Serve it warm with a bowl of chili, a hearty tomato soup, or just slather a thick slice with butter and call it dinner.

Pro Tips

• Shred your own cheddar from a block for the best melt and flavor. Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that can affect texture.
• Use room temperature water for the best yeast activation in your bread machine.
• For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or swap in pepper jack cheese.
• Let the loaf cool at least 10 minutes before slicing so it holds its shape.
