1 c. milk
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. butter
1 c. very warm water
2 c. grated sharp Cheddar cheese (8 oz.)
5 c. flour
1 tbsp. salt
1 pkg. active dry yeast

Scald milk. Add sugar and butter. Cool to lukewarm. Add water. Combine 2 cups flour with salt, yeast and grated cheese in large bowl. Add liquid and heat until well mixed. Keep adding flour until too stiff to beat. Turn out onto lightly floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic, adding any flour necessary. Place in greased bowl. Let rise until double in bulk (about 1 1/2 hours). Punch dough down. Cut in half. Shape into 2 large loaves and place in greased bread tins. Let rise until double. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped.
