Ingredients
1 cup 1% milk1 Tbs. sweeet butter1/4 cup honey1 Tbs dry yeast1/4 cup warm water1/2 tsp sugar1 1/2 tsp salt1 egg4 cups unbleached flour, white2 cups chedder cheese, grated, and low fat
Directions
Scald the milk in a small sauce pan; add the butter and honey and let it sit until luke warm. In a large mixing bowl dissolve the yeast in the warm water with the 1/2 tsp sugar. Wait unti it is frothing. Add the luke warm milk to the yeast, along with the salt and egg; beat all together. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and beat 2 minitues or at least 200 strokes by hand. Mix in the cheese and gradually add more flour until the dought leaves the sides of the bowl and is stiff enough to knead.

Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and elatsic, sprinkling with a little more four if it remains sticky. Put the dough in a buttered bowl, turn it over or brush the top with melted butter. Cover witha a towel and let rise until double in size. Punch it down in the bowl and , if you have time, allow it to rise again. (It will will rise faster this time.)

Grease an oval or round casserole and shape the dought to fit. The dough should fill half the pan. Put in the pan. Brush the top with melted butter, cover with the towel and let rise again until almost double.

You can preheat the oven to 350, or put this bread in a cold oven, turn on to 350, bake 40 to 45 minutes and then take the minutes. It is done when the bottom sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on a rack. Makes one large loaf.
