Ingredients

3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 (2-1/4 tsp.) envelope Fleischmann’s^® RapidRise^® Instant Yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1/3 cup milk
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 egg white, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt in larger mixer bowl. Heat water and milk until very warm (120^° to 130^°F); stir into flour mixture. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes.
Knead in cheese. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces; roll each piece to 14-inch rope. Braid ropes; pinch ends to seal. Place dough in greased 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Brush loaf with egg white mixture. Bake at 375^°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; let cool on wire rack.
