 Categories: Breads, Cheese
      Yield: 16 Servings

    1/2 oz Active dry yeast (2 env)
      1 c  Milk; warm (115 F/46 C)
    1/2 c  Butter; softened
      2 tb Sugar
      1 ts Salt
  3 3/4 c  A-P flour
      1 lg Egg; plus:
      1 lg Egg yolk; room temperature
      4 c  Muenster cheese; shredded
      1 lg Egg white; beaten

  In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in milk. Add butter, sugar, salt,
  and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour
  to form a soft dough.

  Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to
  8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
  Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

  In a large bowl, beat egg and yolk; stir in cheese. Punch down
  dough; roll into a 16" circle.

  Place in a greased 10" cast-iron skillet or 9" round baking pan,
  letting dough drape over the edges. Spoon the cheese mixture into
  center of dough. Gather dough up over filling in 1-1/2" pleats.
  Gently squeeze pleats together at top and twist to make a topknot.
  Let rise 10 to 15 minutes.

  Brush loaf with egg white. Bake @ 375 F for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool
  on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
