## How to Make Cheese Bread: A Step-by-Step Recipe
Now that we’ve explored the different types of cheese bread, let’s dive into the process of making it from scratch. Below is a simple and classic cheese bread recipe that yields a soft, cheesy loaf.
Ingredients:
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons sugar
– 1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 ¼ teaspoons)
– 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
– 2 tablespoons butter, softened
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions:
#### Step 1: Prepare the Yeast Mixture
1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and stir gently to dissolve.
2. Let the yeast mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbly. This means the yeast is active and ready to use.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, along with the softened butter.
2. Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. You can use a spoon or your hands to mix it.
3. Once the dough starts coming together, knead it on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
