Gloomy day today

Seriously, it's about 45*F and raining. Lousy weather for a Saturday so I decided to bake a loaf of cheesy bread from a recipe I found in a cookbook called, The American Diner Cookbook, by Elizabeth McKorn & Linda Everett.

Cheese Bread

2 envelopes active dry yeast
2 cups warm milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoons butter
1/4 tsp. salt
4 1/2 cup all- purpose flour
6 oz. sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)

Grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl dissolve the yeast in the milk. Add the sugar, butter, and salt. Stir until well blended. Add the flour. Beat until smooth. Add cheese and mix thoroughly.

Pour the batter in the the prepared casserole dish. Cover with wax paper and place in a warm area. Let rise for one hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

Place the dough in a loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until the bread tests done. Let cool. Makes one loaf.
