1 package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup warm water (105˚ - 115˚F)
4 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese
4-1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons unsalted butter,
in 1-inch pieces
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup fat-free milk
Cooking spray
In a 2-cup liquid measure, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy,
about 5 minutes.
Insert medium shredding disc and shred cheese. Leave in work bowl. Remove shredding disc
and insert dough blade. Add flour, butter and salt; process to combine, about 20 seconds. Add
milk to yeast mixture. With machine running on dough speed, pour milk mixture through small
feed tube as fast as the flour will absorb it and process until dough cleans the sides of the
work bowl. Then process for 45 seconds to knead dough. Place dough in a lightly floured
plastic food storage bag and seal top. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1
to 1-1/2 hours.
Spray one 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and
punch down. Roll dough into a 9 x 5-inch rectangle. Beginning with short end, roll up the
dough jelly roll fashion. Pinch the seam and ends tightly to seal. Place in greased loaf pan
and cover with plastic wrap coated with vegetable oil cooking spray. Let rise for 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F 15 minutes before baking.
Bake until top is well browned and loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
