1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1/4 c. lukewarm milk (scalded then cooled)
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 3/4 c. Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1 c. 1/4-inch cubes Swiss cheese (about 8 ounces)

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large mixer bowl. Stir in milk, sugar, salt, oil, eggs and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 10 minutes. Stir in remaining flour with spoon until smooth. Cover; let rise in warm place until double about 1 hour.

Stir down batter by beating about 25 strokes; gently work in cheese until evenly distributed. Shape into ball; place in greased pie plate, 9 x 1 1/4 inches. Let rise until double, about 1 hour.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from plate; cool on wire rack.

If using self-rising flour, omit salt.
