Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/2 cup warm water
1 tbl dry yeast
2 tbl sugar
2 tsp salt
4 tbl softened unsalted butter
1 tsp malt powder optional
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup unbleached bread flour (3 1/2 to 4)
3 tbl melted butter for drizzling
Instructions:
Instructions: Bread machine on dough cycle: add all ingredients except for melted butter and sesame seeds. (You may wish to add the cheeses later in the cycle if your machine - like the Black & Decker - has a beeper for adjuncts).

At the end of the cycle, gently deflate dough. Cut into four random slabs. Place in a greased 12 by 5 inch loaf pan or a 10 inch springform pan. Cover and let rise 30-40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Drizzle on melted butter then sprinkle on sesame seeds.

Bake until golden brown (30-35 minutes). Let rest in pan before removing to a rack.

NOTES : Buttery, cheesy, crusty. This bread is cut into rough slabs before rising. Once it rises, it merges into a unique loaf. Perfect for a caesar salad break or an omelette supper. This bread is bigger than the sum of its parts.
