FATHER’S DAY EDITION – Cheesy Cider Bread

This is so simple to make and it will make a delicious addition to a Fathers Day celebration.

The alcohol in the cider [or pale ale if you prefer] helps the bread rise and will cook out just leaving a delicious taste.

It is best eaten on the day it is made, but to really appreciate the texture and flavour eat it warm with lots of butter!
