How to Make Best Cheese Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, milk, and egg to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
  3. Gradually add flour and salt to the wet ingredients, 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.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead in the shredded cheese.
  6. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  7. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190-200°F (88-93°C).
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your warm, cheesy bread!
