I have quite a few weaknesses… I can’t walk into a bookstore without wanting to buy every single book I pass by. I especially love the staff recommendation shelf and feel like every written recommendation was placed there just for me.

Sharpies are another weakness of mine. I need…not want…need at least 2 of every color sitting in a drawer unused just so I know they are there. Heaven forbid if someone were to actually open up a desk drawer and take one and I be down a Sharpie!

Well, and we all know my weakness for Adam Levine is real. I just can’t help it.

But, the one weakness I have…the one thing I bake in the kitchen that I absolutely cannot resist no matter how hard I try, is fresh, baked bread. I’ve never been one of those people to let the bread basket pass me by at the table. It’s what I crave and want and I’m sure need. I heart fresh baked bread!

The bad thing about knowing how to make bread is that I know how to make bread. Anytime I want a loaf of fresh baked bread, I just go into my kitchen, throw in some quality ingredients, and have a loaf before me in no time.

The good thing about knowing how to make bread is that I know how to make bread! Anytime I want a loaf of fresh baked bread, I just go into my kitchen, throw in some quality ingredients, and I will have a loaf before me in no time.

It’s a blessing and a curse, I tell you!

If you have a weakness for fresh, baked bread I’m here to say you too can have a loaf of bread in your house in no time. There is no need to be scared of baking with yeast! If you are working with quality ingredients, like Fleischmann’s® RapidRise™ Yeast, and a great bread recipe, you’ll be able to conquer your fear in no time!

This recipe for Cheesy Potato Refrigerator Bread is perfect for a beginner or an experienced baker. This is one loaf of bread that will be gone in a flash…as soon as your family smells the aroma of the fresh baked bread you are making; it’ll be gobbled up.

Give into your weaknesses and give this homemade bread recipe a try! Enjoy!

I adapted from this bread recipe because it can be extremely versatile! I added 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar to the dough before rolling it up and the result was an extra cheesy loaf of fresh baked bread!

    I love this recipe Kristen. Cheese bread is my hubby’s favourite thing in the world. My son is a huge fan too. This look ridiculously good!

    I have to share a funny story. We went out west to see my sister years ago, we were gone for 3 weeks so we had our my in-laws watch our Sheltie. Most well behaved dog in the world. Or so we thought. I got an angry phone from my mother in law one day while we were driving cross country. Apparently she made cheese bread and left it on the kitchen table to cool. Our dog took the whole darn thing. I could not help but laugh. Who can resist hot cheese bread. I would have grabbed a slice or two myself. I had no clue what to tell her, other than he’s short so the counter would be a more ideal cooling place. Not like I can ground the dog from 3000 miles away. Still laugh about it.

    Shortening in bread…use butter or olive oil instead and you really only need 2-3 tablespoons, not 2/3 cup. I have been making potato bread in some form since I was 13, I am now 63, so I know a bit about it. Also 3 tablespoons of sweetener is enough. 1/2 cup makes a sweet loaf, not as savory as it should be with cheese in it. 2 teaspoons of salt is also enough.
