How to Make Cheese Bread

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

Knead the dough for about ten minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Press the dough gently to remove the air.

Roll the dough tightly and place it into a greased loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover and let it rise for another thirty minutes.

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Step 11

Bake the bread for about thirty five minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Step 12

Brush the hot bread with melted butter for extra flavor.

Step 13

Allow the bread to cool for about ten minutes before slicing and serving.

Recipe Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting quality.

Warm milk helps the yeast become active.

Do not add milk that is too hot because it can stop the yeast from working.

Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing to keep the cheese inside.

Store leftover bread in an airtight container for up to three days.

You can add chopped herbs or garlic for extra flavor.
