Ingredients:
For the bread

  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 Tbsp yeast (instant or rapid rise)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp dry mustart powder
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 5 – 6 cups flour (all-purpose)

Filling

  • 2 cups cheddar (shredded)
  • 2 cups cheddar (cubed)

Topping

  • 2 Tbsp melted butter or olive oil
  • Sesame seeds
  • Pinch of garlic salt or dried herbs

Instructions:

  • Grease two loaf pans (8×4 inch)
  • In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Stir and allow to stand for 2 – 3 minutes until it foams.
  • Add the salt, sugar, mustard, oil, eggs, butter, and 3 cups of flour.
  • Mix together using the kneading hook of your mixer.
  • Once combined, add small amounts of flour until you reach a smooth, moist, and elastic texture.
  • Remove the dough and place in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise to double the size. Usually 30 – 60 minutes.
  • Remove the dough and place on a floured surface. Divide in two pieces
  • Roll one piece into a rectangular shape (10×16 inches).
  • Scatter half of the shredded cheese over the rolled dough.
  • Roll up the dough starting on the long side.
  • Cut each roll lengthwise and then cut these two pieces into smaller pieces.
  • Scatter half of these dough pieces into the bottom of one of the loaf pans
  • Then scatter ¼ of the cheese cubes and top with the rest of the dough pieces.
  • Add another ¼ of the cheese cubes and set aside while you do the same with the rest of the dough and the other loaf pan.
  • Drizzel both pans with some olive oil or melted butter, sesame seeds, and add seasoning.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 30 minutes or until puffy.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake for 35 – 40 minutes or until the top browns.
  • Cover with tin foil and continue baking. This allows further baking without browning.
  • Once baked, allow to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the pans and cooling on racks.
