Easy to make, easy to eat. I used basil because we didn't have dill, sliced almonds because we didn't have sunflower seeds, and Corona because it's what we had. Loved the cheesy flavor, loved getting to toss it together for a sidedish. My only problem was that it didn't rise very well and 2 slices later I was stuffed!

This bread was amazing! For those of you that think it's too salty, here's a suggestion, USE LESS SALT! It's rocket science isn't is?!

Alright now that has been said, I really loved the recipe. I added some extra cheese to the recipe and also some home made bacon. Obviously if you add bacon then reduce the amount of salt to about 1/2 teaspoon. Also when adding other beers and cheese consider their taste pairing. IPA's stand up great to sharp cheddar cheese, while a porter may not. I've found that using a strong wheat ale like Blue Moon, it makes the bread flat line on flavor. I'm not an IPA fan so I substituted a Fat Tire Ale. I also prefer mine with extra dill (I used dried over fresh. Over all a great new bread for my friends and family. Thanks Alton!!!

Also the sunflower seeds on top is a must! My cooking time turned out to be an hour. Use a thermometer and check to make sure it is at 210 or pretty close to it.

After using this recipe once or twice without alterations, I tried it the other day with the following:
Beer .................. Maharaja Imperial IPA
Cheese .............. Habanero Jack
Dill substitution ... Fresh Lime Zest

This turned out wonderfully, with a well-rounded spiciness that my family and I all enjoyed thoroughly. Thanks for the wonderful recipe, Alton!

This bread was so delicious. I used pepperjack cheese and sprinkled the top with some crushed red pepper. It was gone before the rest of dinner was ready!

This was very tasty, hearty, and a good strong flavor with Guinness. It was just a tad salty, I'd use a bit less salt next time. It was a great hit with our corned beef and cabbage.

I don't know why reviewers found this salty or lacking flavor. Regarding salt, I knew that kosher salt is using at half the quantity of table salt, so had no trouble. The flavor was great and gave me another good recipe for both whole wheat and sunflower seeds. I will be making this often, as I bake all my own bread.

Ok, the only variations were that I did not use the sunflower seeds or the dill, and I used a Blue Moon (wheat-brewed ale. I may do it one more time to see what I can add to give it that umph, but it really was just plain, bland bread. I used a thermometer (def recommend it and it baked perfectly, that was not an issue at all. But it was so bland even after adding butter that I really did not see any reason to make the recipe again. I honestly do not know what to add to it though, but I'll experiment. Could barely taste the cheese, just not very impressed all together. It's one of those breads that may go well with a specific dish that soaks the flavor of whatever you make, but that may be about it.

What's up with giving the flour quantities in weight rather than measurements (cups? I went to great lengths to translate the measurements and the bread still finished in a raw-like state. It could use more cheese and more dill...very bland. I wad disappointed and won't make it again. Darn it.
