Add the ingredients to the bread maker tin, in the order above, apart from the bacon and cheese (for larger loaves, please see the notes below).
Add the cooked bacon to the seperate dispenser.
Set the bread maker off on menu 4 and pick the 'M' size. Choose your preferred crust colour. The program takes about 4 hours.
The cheese needs to be added when the machine beeps (I think this was after about 1 hour).
When the bread maker is finished, carefully remove the baking tin from the bread maker and slide out the cooked loaf on to a wire rack to allow it to cool before slicing.

Side note: When I make this bread again I will probably try it with bacon lardons rather than chopped rashers of bacon. I will also grate the cheese rather than chop it into chunks so that it melts and integrates better, and I’ll also slightly increase the amount of bacon and cheese.
