bread making experts... i wanted to try the cheese bread too.. but are you using oven to bake the bread or bread machine? if i use bread machine can i aslo bake the cheese bread ? when should i add in the cheese?? thanksksks.. for your advise

I use the Z bread machine. There is a cheese bread recipe provided which calls for 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup cheese. Personally, I think there's an error to the amount of liquid recommended. The bread does not rise very much if it's 1/2 cup water. I would suggest using 2/3 water or milk and add more cheese (1 cup).

U can add the cheese after u hear the beep function - midway thru the kneadin stage

Sounds yummy! I don't do anything different to the Z recipe except add more water! Milk sounds like a good substitute.

Ya... give milk a try. In the past, I experimented with 1/3 cup water and 1/3 cup milk. But was not very satisfied with the taste and texture. After trying 2/3 cup milk, my family and I like how the bread turns out. Somehow I find that it gives a nice texture to the bread and brings out the cheese flavour. Then again, I also increase the amt of cheese from 1/4 cup to 1 cup.

As I usually bake my breads in the evenings and consume them for bfast the next morning, I don't worry too much about the bread getting spoiled.

Thanks schweppes. So you use 1 cup milk and 1 cup cheese? Not 2/3 milk?

I used to bake bread at home using oven but stop since my bread always turned hard after 3 - 4 hours. Do u know if there is any things i can add to keep it soft and last for a day? thanks

Funz you must keep the bread aside after taking out for some-time and after cutting dont eat immediately though its very tempting... keep aside for half n hr before eating u might find the crux not so bad..

Haha. I left the bread till next morning. Still find the crust too thick. :lol:

Maybe it's a matter of preference. It is edible, not that the crust is not edible but I prefer a thinner crust.

Yah I agree, 1/4 cup of cheese is too miserly liao. I upped it to 1/2 cup And since I did away with the onions, I added another 2 tbsp of water to the recipe. And no milk powder for my breads. It rose beautifully.

The smell when the bread was baking was heavenly. But when eating, we cannot quite taste the cheese. Will try 1 cup of cheese the next time.
