2 tbsp. sesame seed
4 1/2 to 5 1/2 c. bread flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 pkg. active dry yeast
1 c. water
1 c. milk
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs

FILLING:

4 oz. (1 c.) shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp. Italian seasonings
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 c. butter, softened

Generously grease 12 cup fluted tube or 10 inch tube pan; sprinkle with sesame seed. Lightly spoon flour in measuring cup; level off. In large bowl combine 2 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast, blend well. In small sauce pan heat water, milk and 1/2 cup butter until very warm (120 to 130 degrees), add warm liquid and eggs to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand stir in remaining flour to form stiff batter. In small bowl combine all filling; mix well. Spoon half of batter into prepared pan; spoon filling evenly over batter to within 1/2 inch of sides of pan. Spoon remaining batter over filling. Cover; let rise in warm place (80 to 85 degrees) until light and double in size, about 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350; bake 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when lightly taped. Remove from pan immediately; serve warm or cool.

Variation: Can add 3/4 lb. of crumbled cooked sausage to filling.
