Original Recipe Yield 18 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
  • 2 cups rye flour
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 pound Cheddar cheese, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
  • additional cornmeal

Directions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring water, cornmeal and salt to a boil; stir until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and molasses. Cool to room temperature. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the cornmeal mixture, rye flour and 1 cup all purpose flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a stiff dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
  3. Punch the dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; knead cheese cubes into the dough. Divide into three portions; shape each portion into a 5-in. round loaf. Sprinkle greased baking sheets with cornmeal. Place loaves on prepared pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees Ffor 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Store in the refrigerator.

I shredded the cheese instead of cubing it and doing that didn't give it much of a cheesy...
