1 (1/4 oz.) pkg. active dry yeast
1 c. warm water (110-115 degrees)
3 c. all-purpose flour, divided
1/4 c. butter, softened
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. dehydrated minced onion
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Melted butter

In a large mixing bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup butter, egg, sugar, salt and seasonings. Beat at low speed until mixed, about 30 seconds; increase speed to medium and continue beating for 2 minutes.

Stir in remaining flour and 1/3 cup cheese; beat until smooth. Cover bowl and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Stir batter 25 strokes. Spread batter into a greased 1 1/2-quart casserole; brush with melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees about 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes before removing from the casserole. Yield: 1 loaf.
