- Hi, I'm Sally from Sally's Baking Addiction
and today I'm showing you how to make homemade cheese bread.
This recipe shows how easy and approachable
homemade bread can be.
Use this video tutorial as your guide.
We'll swirl cheese throughout the dough
and bake it in a loaf pan.
In addition to the melted cheese inside,
we're topping the bread with garlic herb butter.
You can find this full recipe and tutorial on my blog,
sallysbakingaddiction.com.
The first step is to whisk warm buttermilk,
water, a little sugar and yeast together.
Cover the bowl and let it sit
for about five minutes until foamy.
That's when you know the yeast is active.
These days, yeast is usually already active
so you can skip this step if needed.
After that, we'll add the rest of the dough ingredients.

Once the dough begins pulling away
from the sides of the bowl,
that's when you know it's ready to knead.
You can simply continue beating it with the mixer
for the kneading step or you can knead it by hand.
I'll knead it by hand so you can see how it's done.

After kneading, place the dough in a greased bowl
and let it rise until doubled in size,
about one to two hours.
If using an instant yeast like Platinum yeast for Red Star,
the rise time will be on the quicker side.

Now, let's assemble the cheese bread.
When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air
and then roll it out into a rectangle.
Top with cheese and then roll it back up.
Slice the roll in half lengthwise
then twist the two pieces together.
I love this bread with cheddar cheese
but Pepper Jack or even smoked Gouda are delicious as well.

For extra cheesy goodness, if you have any left over,
cut a few small squares and tuck it right into the twist.
Place the twisted bread into a greased loaf pan,
cover it and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Right before baking,
brush the whole loaf with garlic herb butter.
