A tip on cutting crusty bread. If its really crusty, I start by poking a hole and doing an initial cut with Kitchen shears or Scissors to open the crust. Easier to control the initial cut and you are less likely to cut your self as the knife slides around on the "shell" of your loaf! After that I finish with a serrated bread knife. (Or you could buy a professional bread slicing machine!)
Bread...Flour! Since this involves bread, here is some info regarding the different types of Flours used in baking and cooking. (What is a Tipo dipplo Zero flour? How do you use it? Questions!)

Liz, your cheese bread, thanks! Looks good! I think I will try

Re: Kitchen Aid
They really outdid themselves when they came up with this recipe. An ex-Amish lady that I watch on, ‘The You Tube’ says this is the best bread she’s ever made for her family - since she left The Life and now has access to electricity and a stand mixer! ;)
It’s not my Grandma’s Bread, but it’s pretty darn close!

I learned to make the Betty Crocker ‘Casserole Bread’ decades ago. Always a good one to add cheese and herbs to as well.

P.S. They have NOT updated, ‘The Recipe Link’ site in any way since the 1990’s, but the recipes are always spot on.
