Chopped Bread

1. Make your favorite dough in the bread machine. Whole Wheat Bread dough posted previously works great.
2. Take out the dough and pat into a 10 inch circle. In the center, add the following. Make sure all ingredients are well-drained and patted dry.

• 1 cup grated or cubed cheese
• 1/4 cup cooked meat or deli meat slices
• 1/4 cup chopped peppers and onions
  

3. Bring up edges of dough and seal around the add-ins. Chop through several times one way, and then several times the opposite way. Bread dough cubes should be about 2".
4. Lightly mix dough mixture with knife, making sure most add-ins are touching dough.
5. Place dough mixture on lightly greased baking sheet and lightly pat into a round loaf shape.
6. Let rise.
7. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until puffy and brown.

Enjoy!

This chopped bread makes a nice savory loaf. If you like, make a slightly sweeter loaf by using the following for the add-ins:

• A mixture of 3 chopped apples + 1/2 cup sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon

Shape and bake as above.

This general idea can be adopted to make other tasty loaves. Just make sure your add-ins are dry so as not to get a soggy loaf.
