This was a big hit. I ran out of white flour and had to use 1/2 c wheat and I used regular cheese instead of low fat.

What a great tasting bread. I made it to go along with a soup dinner and, for me, it stole the show. It rises high and really fluffy and the flavor is most enjoyable. I use whole wheat flour, asiago cheese for the cheddar, 1 tsp of Splenda and skipped the dill. I totally forgot the poppy seeds on top. Yummy bread that I'll make again!

Oh, I so love a good savory quick bread, and this one is no exception! I really wanted to try this as just an herb bread so I skipped the cheese; it was tasty but if I do that again next time I will add a bit more liquid to the batter. I used 1/2 AP flour and 1/2 spelt flour and forgot all about the sugar, but it still turned out quite good. Thanks so much for posting; this was perfect with a salad on this late summer night and will be great with soup this winter! Made for Veg*n Swap #14.
