A delightful bread machine recipe combining the savory flavors of bacon and cheese for a perfect loaf.
Add the warm water, bread flour, salt, sugar, and butter into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top of the flour mixture.
Avoid direct contact between the yeast and salt to ensure proper rising.
Start the bread machine on the basic bread cycle.
Choose the medium crust setting for a balanced texture.
When the machine signals for mix-ins, add the bacon bits and shredded cheese.
Distribute the mix-ins evenly for consistent flavor.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the loaf from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
