Bacon Cheddar Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Place ingredients in bread pan in order listed or according to manufacturer' s directions.
• The cheddar cheese and bacon are added at the fruit and nut signal. Depending on your machine this could be anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes into the cycle.
• Remember, when adding the yeast last, make a small well with your finger to place the yeast. This will insure the proper timing of the yeast reaction. This bread is processed at the Basic (Standard) or Rapid cycle, or according to manufacturer' s directions.

Steps:

• Fry bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; reserve remaining bacon grease in skillet. Crumble bacon.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place skillet with bacon grease in oven.
• Combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, buttermilk, butter, and eggs in another bowl; stir milk mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Fold in Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers. Allow batter to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Pour batter into hot skillet and sprinkle with crumbled bacon, gently pressing bacon into batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Prepare bread pan by greasing with butter; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with a whisk. Make a well in the center; add bacon, about 3/4 of cheese and beer into the well.
• Stir mixture with a spoon until combined.
• Pour mixture into prepared bread pan; add remaining cheese and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Bake for 30 minutes; remove from oven and drizzle remaining butter over the top.
• Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until browned on top and loaf thumps when you tap the top.
• Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on wire rack. You can brush with more butter if you choose.

Steps:

• Place the ingredients in your bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
