Cheese (Filled) Bread

• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 cups thinly sliced or grated GranQueso or Manchego cheese
• 1 egg, beaten

1. 1. In a large bowl, dissolve the 2 teaspoons sugar in the warm water. Stir in the yeast and allow the mixture to bubble up for about 10 minutes. Stir in the milk, butter, 4 tablespoons sugar and salt. Add the flour, a cupful at a time, stirring well after each addition to make a soft dough.
2. 2. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Turn the dough in an oiled bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and a towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk (about an hour).
3. 3. Punch the dough down and turn it out again onto the floured work surface. Cut it into two equal parts and roll out to 12" x 14". Spread 1/4 of the cheese on each and roll up, beginning at the long side. Pinch to seal the seam. Place, seam side down, in well-greased loaf pans. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle remaining 1/4 of cheese on each.
4. 4. Cover the pans with a loose towel and allow to rise a second time. Bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 30-40 minutes or until both the top and bottom are browned and crisp to the touch.
