INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1 cup shredded cheese (4 oz)
• 1 tbsp butter or oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp dry milk
• 2 3/4 cups white flour
• 1 pkg dry yeast

METHOD:
This recipe works best with strong cheese; extra sharp cheddar works particularly well. However, because this has actual cheese in it, using a delay timer would probably be a bad idea.

Add cheese and water to bread maker, followed by dry ingredients. Make an indentation at the top for the yeast to prevent it from falling into the liquid. Bake on standard setting.

ALTERNATE METHOD:
For this, you will need a conventional oven and the following additional ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp sesame or poppy seeds

Before final baking phase, remove dough from machine and separate into thirds on lightly floured surface. Form dough into long strips and braid. Allow to rise (30-45 min). Brush top of loaf with mixture of egg, water and seeds and bake in pre-heated oven at 350° for 40 min.
