 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Buttermilk
  2       tb           Butter
  2                    Eggs
    1/2   ts           Baking soda
  1       tb           Sugar
    3/4   ts           Salt
  3       c            Bread flour
  2 1/2   ts           Yeast (1 pkg Red Star)
                       Add at Mix Bread beep:
    2/3   c            Bacon bits (real bacon,
                       -cooked then chopped, not
                       -canned or artificial)
    2/3   c            Shredded cheese

 This recipe is a combination of Donna Gorman's
 Bacon/Cheese Bread and her Buttermilk Cheese Bread
 (cookbook III). I'd made the bacon/cheese bread and it
 was good, but it was a rather dense, low loaf. When I
 saw the buttermilk cheese bread recipe, I decided to
 make a few modifications and combine the two recipes
 ... the result is a tall, utterly delicious loaf!

 I then tried it closer to her recipe and, instead of
 adding bacon/cheese at the mix bread cycle, I added 1
 cup of shredded cheese at the beginning. This loaf
 almost brushed the top of my Hitachi! It was HUGE!

 I don't know why these rise so well ... I did warm the
 buttermilk in the microwave for about 1/2 minute and
 the baking soda is unusual. I may try adding a small
 amount of baking soda to some other recipes and see
 what the result is.

 Anyway ... this is now one of our favorite breads!  A
 loaf is baking right now.
