Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC). Grease two 1-quart casserole dishes or two 9-inch square baking dishes with butter or cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the dry yeast over the water and stir gently to combine. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
-
Stir in the warm milk, melted butter, and beaten egg into the yeast mixture. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, the shredded cheddar cheese, and salt.
-
Add the flour and cheese mixture to the wet ingredients. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the dough for 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
-
Switch to a wooden spoon or dough hook and gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, beating until the dough is stiff enough to handle.
-
Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Divide the dough evenly between the two prepared casserole dishes.
-
Cover the dishes again and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size and puffed up slightly above the rim.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove the bread from the casseroles immediately to prevent the bottoms from getting soggy. Cool on wire racks for a few minutes before serving warm.
