   • Start by selecting the appropriate loaf size on your bread machine and add the ingredients in the order specified by the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Knead and Rest:

   • Choose the dough cycle on your bread machine and let it work its magic. Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough onto a floured surface.
   • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.

3. Shape the Loaf:

   • After resting, divide the dough into four equal parts and shape them into a loaf.

4. Prepare for Baking:

   • Grease a 23 cm by 12 cm loaf pan and place the shaped dough inside.
   • Cover the loaf pan with a clean tea towel and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This usually takes about 50 to 60 minutes, depending on the temperature.

5. Bake to Perfection:

   • Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
   • Once the dough has doubled in size, it’s time to bake! Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the bread turns a beautiful golden brown.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
   • Serve your Bread Machine Cheese and Bacon Bread warm with butter or your favorite spreads.

Tips and Variations:

• Cheese Choice: For the best flavor, use sharp or aged cheddar cheese.
• Herb Swap: Experiment with different herbs like dill weed instead of basil for a unique flavor twist.
• Bacon Crunch: Craving extra bacon goodness? Feel free to add more bacon bits to the dough for an extra savory kick.
• Custom Loaf Shapes: Get creative with your loaf shapes! Try braiding the dough or forming it into rolls for a fun presentation.
