Title: Buttermilk cheese and bacon bread
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      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.
