Allow to rise in a warm draft free place for 1 hour. Punch down and roll out into a rectangle. Sprinkle 1.5 cups shredded cheese onto dough and, if desired, seasonings like garlic and/or onion powder. Roll up, jelly roll style, and seal. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheddar cheese onto the top of bread after slicing 3 or 4 diagonal cuts (like french bread). Allow to rise an additional 1/2 hour. Bake in 350 degree oven until done (about 20 minutes).
