Zesty, with a bit of a bite. I liked it plain, but I loved it toasted with a smear of butter. Everyone really liked this bread. I think this would make killer hamburger buns. Made for I Recommend tag game based on Annacia's review.

All I can do is echo the recipe description. I always use the dough cycle and make buns which I then freeze because I just never seen to finish a loaf before it goes off. The pepper sauce is barely noticeable in heat but it does add something nice. The cubed cheese just vanishes into the bread if you add it at the beginning like I did. The basil touch is also lovely.

AWESOME Cheese and Onion Bread. Made for our family New Years Eve gathering, it was an absolute hit with everyone. Have to add no one was surprised to hear it was a Dotty2 recipe! Made using the dough cycle, baked in two 'french loaf' style loaves making for perfect slices to add the appetizer table as well as along with the soup course. Made as posted (cubed the cheese) and wouldn't change a thing. The bread is indeed savoury, tender, and wonderfully feather light. And yes it's great toasted! Another Dotty2 recipe going into our Family Favorites. Thank you Dot.
