List of Ingredients
2 cups lukewarm (95 F) water
2 (1/4-ounce) packages or 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons grated aged Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Recipe
1. Pour water into large mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast and sugar over
water; stir to dissolve. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add
1 1/2 cups of the Cheddar cheese, chives, butter and salt; mix until
combined. Beat in flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough is soft and
sticky. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, 1 hour.
2. Punch down dough with wooden spoon; mix 1 minute. Place dough on
floured work surface; cut in half. Place each half in a greased
9-by-5-inch loaf pan; smooth top. Sprinkle tops with remaining 2
tablespoons of the Cheddar. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm
place until doubled in size, 45 minutes.
3. Heat oven to 375 F. Bake until loaves are golden brown on top and
sound hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes. Cool in pans on wire rack
30 minutes. Remove from pans to cool completely.
