"This is a great bread to serve with a simple dinner since it has such great flavors. It makes a 2-pound loaf."

This is ok, but I didn't get the extreme cheese flavor, even though I put in two cups of extra sharp shredded cheese instead of 1 2/3. It did end up being a nice, moist loaf though.

I made this great bread several dys ago & thot I should get to the review since I made another of your bread recipes last nite. This is a very dense, heavy bread that is packed w/the cheddar cheese flavor. The chive flavor is less prominent, but still nicely present. It is ideal w/soup, great toasted + smeared w/butter & I bet would make great croutons. Eating it warm seems to maximize the great flavors, but its heavy texture makes it less than ideal for sammies unless able to slice it very thin. I cut thin slices, froze them, will make grilled cheese sammies w/them & bet they will be fantastic. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)
