This savory cheese loaf is great sliced in thin wedges to go with soup, salads or casseroles. I've served it to large crowds and received many compliments. One year, I gave it to our neighbor for Christmas. -Evelyn Bear, Kingston, Idaho

Herbed Cheese Rings Recipe

Prep: 35 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

35 20 55

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole wheat flour
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon each dried oregano, basil and rosemary, crushed
FILLING:
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
TOPPING:
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, oil, honey, egg, salt, whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour and herbs. Beat until blended. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Punch dough down and turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Roll one portion into a 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Combine filling ingredients; sprinkle half over dough. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal.
Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring. With a sharp knife, cut 1/2-in. slashes at 2-in. intervals. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Brush each ring with egg; sprinkle with sesame seeds and cheese. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).

This was tasty and so easy to make. Well-received by everyone at a recent party. I was surprised that a bread without kneading would turn out so well.

Nice recipe - especially as you can do a lot of the work the day before. That made it easy to make and take into work - where it was very well received!
