How to Make 500 Margarita Bread

1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast; let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
4. Add the yeast mixture, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the butter mixture; beat well.
5. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, tequila, Parmesan cheese, and cilantro.
7. Pour the lime-tequila mixture over the dough and knead for another 2 minutes until well incorporated.
8. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
9. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
10. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
13. While the bread is baking, prepare the cheese spread by combining all ingredients in a bowl and mixing well.
14. Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving with the cheese spread.
