   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.
