It didn't rise as much as I would have liked so it turned out to be a bit of a dense loaf, but the flavor of this bread is fantastic! Both my kids (and me) are munching on it like mad. I did the dough in the bread machine then baked it in a loaf pan. I had to add a bit of olive oil when the dough wasn't sticking together (suppose I could have used a bit more buttermilk). Very nice bread. I will try it again and see if it raises better next time, as it could have been the yeast I was using.

For pure taste, this bread is truly outstanding! It does make a bit smaller loaf than most other recipes I have made & I suggest chopping the shredded cheese a bit to get more uniform distribution of it throughout the loaf. I prob should have added a bit of water for extra moisture to help that process, but I am new to ABM bread-making & am just learning the signs of such needs. DH commented that this bread was *excellent* & among the top 2-3 I have made, so thx for sharing this sure-to-be repeated recipe w/us. :-)

Nice texture, works well in the bread machine, thanks for noting it's for 1 1/2lb loaf, so may people forget. The buttermilk gives it a nifty flavor I can't quite describe. We like it!

Really nice taste and texture. I used 2 yr old white cheddar. Rises beautifully and ooohhhh the fragrance!! Day old used for ham and cheese panini. Thanks for passing this along. I'll be making it again for sure.
