​How to bake Cheese Bread using Manual / Traditional method:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water (110-115 degrees F). Stir to dissolve and let stand for 5-10 minutes. Set aside.  Click here for procedure & tips for a successful yeast.
  • In a large bowl, combine the milk, sugar, butter, egg yolks and salt. 
  • Blend well then add the yeast mixture. 
  • Add flour to make a moderate stiff dough.
  • **Note: Check the consistency of the dough before putting all the remaining flour. (use of flour depends on the type of flour, milk and the size of the eggs). Dough should be moderate to stiff and elastic. 
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth & elastic. 
  • Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour.
  • After rising, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. 
  • Use a dough slicer to divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
  • Roll each part until it forms into a log.
  • Cut each log into equal pieces.​​

  • Prepare the grated cheese or sliced cheese.
  • Flatten the dough with a rolling pin until it stretches into a triangular shape.
  • Spread some butter on top of the flattened dough then add grated cheese then roll up or just add the sliced cheese on top then roll up. 
  • Cover the dough with bread crumbs and place the rolled up dough on a lightly greased baking sheet or tray with paper liners. End of the bread at the bottom.
