Equipment

  • Bread machine with Basic/White program
  • 1½- to 2-pound loaf capacity pan

Ingredients
  

Basic Version – 1½-Pound Loaf

  • ¾ cup prepared mashed potatoes warmed
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 tbsp butter softened and cut into pieces
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp ground pepper
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives minced
  • 1 tsp yeast

Mix-ins:

  • 3 strips bacon cooked and crumbled

Larger Version - 2-Pound Loaf

  • Larger Version – 2-Pound Loaf
  • 1 cup prepared mashed potatoes warmed
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • ⅔ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 tbsp butter softened and cut into pieces
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1½ tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh chives minced
  • 1¼ tsp yeast

Mix-ins:

  • 4 strips bacon cooked and crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Add ingredients to your bread machine's baking pan in the order listed, beginning with mashed potatoes and ending with yeast.
  • Add shredded cheddar with the liquids; it will melt into the dough during mixing.
  • Select the Basic/White setting on your machine.
  • Choose the loaf size setting that matches your ingredients (1½-lb or 2-lb).
  • Press Start to begin the cycle.
  • When prompted by your machine (usually with a beep during the second knead cycle), add bacon crumbles. If there is no prompt, add bacon midway through the second knead manually.
  • When baking completes, remove the loaf and transfer it to a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Store leftover bread wrapped tightly for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
  • Best enjoyed toasted or grilled—perfect for patty melts, BBQ chicken sandwiches, or dunked in beer cheese soup.
  • Great use for leftover mashed potatoes after holiday dinners.
