Cheese Bread

This is a wonderful recipe for cheese bread, if you don't want to add in grated cheddar, add in small cubes of cheddar by hand after kneading. This can also be made on a stand mixer with a dough hook attached. If desired you can add in about 2 tablespoons room temperature Crisco shortening in with the yeast, warm water, sugar and salt, the bread will stay fresher longer and bake out with a softer texture.

1 cheese twist loaf (change servings and units)

    Kitten, This bread is really good. After going through all the cheese bread recipes (yeast recipes) I really liked your recipe. However, I wanted to stick with the cheese flavor and omitted the onion flavor as one loaf of this bread is going to a friend. I used your warm oven idea (turn oven on to 200 F then turn off) and the bread rose beautifully. Thank you for this recipe. Again, I have found another one of your recipes to be great!

    Yahoo! The smell will make you want to dance and the taste, well this Kitten was absolutely wonderful and everyone enjoyed it! I tried different toppings on it too...I really liked a lite veggie cream cheese spread on it. The bread is so light, it makes a great snack or even just tasty in the morning. I need more *'s too, thank you for sharing!
