You can use any cheese or beer variety and the beer actually helps with the rising and the overall texture and taste of the bread.
Directions:

- Let cool to 43°C.
- Add the remaining ingredients in the order given in the recipe, unless the bread machine's manual recommends a different order.
- Select the Basic White program, 700 g, and medium crust.
- When done, remove the bread and let it cool on a rack.
