  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3 1/2  cups          all-purpose flour -- (3 1/2 to 4)
   2      tablespoons   sugar
   1      package       Rapid Rise Yeast
   1      teaspoon      salt
   1      cup           water
     1/3  cup           skim milk
   6      ounces        sharp cheddar cheese -- grated
   1      each          egg white -- lightly beaten with
                        1 tablespoon water

Makes 1 loaf.
In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt.
Heat water and milk until very warm (120 to 130F); stir into dry
ingredients. 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 375F for 30 to 35 minutes or
until done. Remove from pan; let cool on wire rack.

NOTES:  I added 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion and 1/8 teaspoon of garlic
powder to dough before stirring in added flour.  And, I used fatfree cheese
instead of regular which cut down on the calories and total fat.
