Cheddar Crown Loaf(Makes 1 Large Loaf) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 to 7 c. flour, unsifted
1 tsp. salt
1 3/4 c. milk
1 c. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 tsp. caraway seed
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 pkg. dry yeast
3 Tbsp. margarine
melted margarine
1/2 c. water

Preparation

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix 2 1/2 cups flour with the sugar, salt and undissolved dry yeast.
Combine milk, water and 3 tablespoons margarine in a saucepan.
Heat over low heat until liquids are very warm; the margarine does not need to melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
Stir in cheese and enough additional flour to make a stiff dough.
Turn out onto lightly floured board.
Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
