Golden cheddar loaf

16 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3½ cup All-purpose flour, (3 1/2 to 4)
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 pack Rapid Rise Yeast
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Water
⅓ cup Skim milk
6 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 Egg white, lightly beaten with
1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Makes 1 loaf. In large bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water and milk until very warm (120ø to 130øF); stir into dry ingredients. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.

Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes. Knead in cheese.

Divide dough into 3 equal pieces; roll each piece to 14-inch rope. Braid ropes; pinch ends to seal. Place dough in greased 8 ½- x 4 ½-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes. Brush loaf with egg white mixture. Bake at 375øF for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; let cool on wire rack.

NOTES: I added ½ cup of finely chopped onion and ⅛ teaspoon of garlic powder to dough before stirring in added flour. And, I used fatfree cheese instead of regular which cut down on the calories and total fat.
