How to Make Asiago Bacon Breakfast Bread

  1. Heat 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan until warm (105-115°F).
  2. Pour warm milk mixture into a large mixing bowl and add 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast.
  3. Stir gently and let rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating on medium speed for 2 minutes until just combined.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese, 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
  8. Reserve 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Stir the remaining cheese mixture into the bread batter.
  9. Pour batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan.
  10. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 40-50 minutes.
  11. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  12. Bake for 20 minutes.
  13. Sprinkle the reserved cheese mixture evenly over the top of the bread.
  14. Continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Let cool slightly in the pan before slicing and serving warm. Refrigerate leftover bread.
