Grilled cheese on cheese bread

Grilled cheese on cheese bread.  Of course.

Sourdough cheese bread

Sourdough loaf with cheddar cheese:  always a winner!

one of my favorite breads to make and eat

This is a finished loaf of cheddar cheese and beer bread. I have been using a chocolate stout so that I can call the beer "chocolate and cheese." The loaf pictured is cheddar and oatmeal stout. And I used brown sugar in the sponge.

I baked this loaf in my Le Creuset heart shaped dutch oven. It is ridiculously cute and a bit absurd: why would anyone need a cast iron casserole shaped like a heart? Oh, because it's cute.

I might go eat some of this bread right now.
