Sharp Cheddar Dill Bread for the Bread Machine - 1 lb

I love making bread in my Cuisinart Bread Maker.  It is fun to take the recipe book and alter the recipes to create new recipes.  This recipe came after I made chicken noodle soup with dill and I was looking to make a bread to go with it.  After seeing Cheddar on sale at the grocery store, I knew what to make.  This bread can be served with soup or even made into a sandwich ...grilled cheese perhaps? This recipe is the one pound loaf.  I make this bread using King Arthur flour as I think it is the best around.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup water, 80-90 degrees F
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp sugar
2 cups bread flour
1 tsp dried dill
2 tsp yeast, active dry, instant or bread machine
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Here's how:

Place all of the ingredients except the cheese into the bread pan, fitted with the paddle, in the order listed. 

Wet ingredients in

Dry Ingredients in
 Place the pan into the machine.
Pan in the machine
On the machine, press Menu select White.

Press Crust and select Medium.

Press Loaf and select 1 lb.

Press Start.

When the Mix-In's sound goes off, add the cheese.
Dough is ready for mix-ins

Cheddar cheese ready to go in

Cheese added
Remove the paddle when the pause signal goes off.  This is optional, but optimal.

When the done signal goes off (6 beeps), remove the loaf from the machine and let cool on a rack.

It is best to let it cool before slicing.

  1. What are the measurements for a 2 pound loaf?

  2. 2 teaspoons is a lot of yeast for only 2 cups of flour. Is that correct?

  3. What if you do not have an "add in" signal on your machine? When would you add the cheese ? at the beginning ???
