HOMEMADE GARLIC CHEDDAR CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Heat milk and butter to 120°F Combine half of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk and butter mixture, cheese, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
• Knead with a mixer fitted with a dough hook at highest speed for 3 minutes.
• Add the rest of the flour and continue kneading for 3 more minutes.
• If the dough seems too sticky, slowly add more flour until the stickiness is corrected.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, and spray the top of the dough with cooking spray.
• Cover and let rise for one hour.
• Punch the dough down and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Divide dough in half and form one loaf each in two greased 9 x 5 inch standard loaf pans.
• Cover the pans with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise for 45-60 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Bake loaves for 10 minutes; then turn oven down to 350F and bake for 30-35 minutes longer, until the breads are browned.
• Cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes; turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool for a minimum of 5-10 more minutes so the bread firms up enough to be cut.
