Homemade cheese bread – YUM! When you cut the loaf of cheese bread you find these lovely swirls of cheddar cheese inside.
Just look at that beautiful loaf of bread. It looks wonderful on the outside and the inside! It does take about 4 1/2 hours from start to finish, but you can make it ahead and use the overnight directions on the recipe.
You warm buttermilk and water, add yeast and sugar and let it set for 5 minutes. Add butter, egg, salt, garlic powder and 1 cup of flour. Mix. Add the rest of the flour, mix and knead. You can use your mixer or knead the dough by hand. Then you let it rise until doubled in size.
Then you punch down the dough and roll it into a 9 x 15 rectangle and sprinkle it with cheese, then roll it up, similar to making cinnamon rolls, making a 15-inch log. Cut the log in half lengthwise and twist the two halves together. Place in a loaf pan, let rise again. Brush with melted butter mixed with herbs and garlic powder and bake.
You can vary the type of cheese and the herbs, depending on what flavors you like.
Such a pretty bread! Slice and serve! Enjoy!
