SAVORY CHEDDAR TWIST BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup grated cheese, and salt. Add in warm milk, yeast, and eggs. Stir and knead with the dough attachment (or by hand) until a soft, smooth dough forms, about 5-7 minutes. Add in additional flour as needed.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover. Let rise until dough is nearly doubled, about an hour to an hour and a half.
• Meanwhile, make the herb butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the garlic, and minced herbs.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rectangle. Spread the herb butter over the dough, leaving an inch border.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the butter.
• Starting with the edge closest to you, roll the dough into a long log. Seal the edges.
• Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the log in half lengthwise, leaving the top attached.
• Keeping the filling side up, twist or "braid" the logs together. Pinch the ends together.
• Butter a large 9 x 5-inch loaf pan using baking spray. Transfer the bread carefully to the prepared loaf pan.
• Cover the bread in the pan with a kitchen towel and allow it to rise, until puffy but not doubled, about 30 minutes to an hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake the bread for 20 minutes, until the tops start to brown.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and sprinkle the top with additional cheese, if desired. Continue baking for another 20- 25 minutes, until the bread is lightly browned. If it is browning too easily, tent a foil over the bread until it cooks completely.
• Remove from oven and let cool. Serve bread warm and store leftovers in an air-tight container at room temperature.
