Swirls of cheddar cheese give these loaves an exquisite flavor. Try a slice or two for sandwiches, toasted for breakfast or served on the side with a Caesar salad âAgnes Ward Stratford, Ontario Ingredients:
3 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
2 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°) |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 eggs |
