This recipe is a favorite because it isn't greasy like other cheese breads I have tried. It will not last long! —Debi Wallace, Chestertown, New York

I have made this bread several times and just leave out the cheese. I have also found that for our tastes, it needs a little more sugar. So I add 1/3 cup instead of the teaspoons amount. Try it without the cheese and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

This recipe was super easy and fast to prepare, and came out looking beautiful as if I'd spent all day making it. My former pro-chef husband loved it and raved about it. It was delicious. The most fun part is pouring in the bottle of beer to bind it all together.

Almost too easy to make. Made two loaves for Superbowl chili-cookoff and everyone gave them a two thumbs-up. Passing out the recipe and will definately be making again
