Recipe: Bob's Cheddar Cheese Bread (gluten free, bread machine)

BOB'S CHEDDAR CHEESE BREAD (GLUTEN FREE)

"This rich bread is flecked with grated cheese. If you're daring, try adding 2 or 3 tablespoons of diced jalapeno peppers to it. It's also good toasted. We have Bob and Melody Gabriel to thank for sharing this gluten-free recipe."
