Swirls of cheddar cheese give these loaves an exquisite flavor. Try a slice or two for sandwiches, toasted for breakfast or served on the side with a Caesar salad —Agnes Ward Stratford, Ontario

Cheddar Loaves Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 35 min. + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

25 35 60

Ingredients

3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs
3 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, eggs, sugar, salt and 6 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead cheese into the dough. Divide in half; shape each portion into a 6-in. round loaf. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).

This is a really excellent bread. It is a light bread and very well liked. I have used just regualar medium cheddar cheese and it tastes just as good. I also bake it in loaf pans everytime.
