How to Make Cheddar Cheese Casserole Bread

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 1/4 cup granulated sugar in 1/2 cup warm water.
  2. Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast over the sugar water.
  3. Let stand for 10 minutes, then stir well until the yeast is dissolved.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup warm milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 large beaten egg.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 teaspoons salt.
  6. Stir well to ensure the cheese and flour are evenly distributed.
  7. Add the dry flour-cheese mixture to the wet ingredients and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 5 minutes.
  8. Gradually add the remaining flour (approximately 1 1/2 - 2 cups), beating well with an electric mixer or a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  9. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approximately 1-1.5 hours).
  10. Gently punch down the dough to release the air.
  11. Grease two (1-quart) casseroles or a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  12. Divide the dough evenly between the prepared casseroles or pan.
  13. Let rise again until doubled in size (approximately 30-45 minutes).
  14. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  15. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly in the casseroles before serving. Enjoy warm!
