     Title: Muenster Bread
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.
