SUCCESS TIP
Use only fresh spinach for this cheesy bread because frozen or canned spinach has too much water, which will cause the loaf to become gummy.

SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the spinach 5 to 10 minutes before the last kneading cycle ends. Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.

Sandwich Board
Need a little something to serve with a bowl of soup or a large salad? These Bell Pepper and Cheese Triangles are the perfect answer. Top slices of this bread with sliced Cheddar cheese and finely chopped red and green bell peppers. Broil bread with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut each slice on the diagonal into triangles.
