Cheese Bread:

This is actually the first bread recipe I tried that actually WORKED for me. I can honestly say that this is one of the best breads I've ever had, and my family devoured one and a half loaves the first night. It's super moist, holds its shape and tastes delicious! I've messed around with this recipe a bit and have come up with a recipe that I've made a few times. I will add that at the end, although I don't have a picture for it.

Ingredients:

1 cup milk
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. soft butter or margarine
2 Tbsp dry yeast (or two packages)
1 cup warm water
4 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

Directions:

Scald milk. Remove from head and add the sugar, salt and butter. Set aside mixture to cool. Add your yeast to the warm water and allow to dissolve. Place in a large bowl your flour and cheese. Add the yeast mixture and milk mixture and mix well. Cover with towel and let rise for 1 hour. Spoon into greased bread pans and bake at 375 for 35 minutes. Makes two loaves.

Pizza bread:
I decreased the amount of salt to 2 tsp. and the amount of sugar to 1 Tbsp. I also used mozzarella instead of cheddar. Before making the bread, I sauteed half an onion and one green bell pepper in oil until they were tender. I then cut up pepperoni in fourths. When it came time to mixing everything together (yeast and milk mixture with the flour mixture) I dumped in my peppers, onions and pepperoni and let it rise like normal. Bake for the 35 minutes at 375. Dip in your favorite pizza sauce.
