Get them to say "cheese" in a snap with this casserole bread covered by a cheese-coated crust. You can skip the kneading step and go right to making this cheesiest of breads instead.


   2 cups (8 oz.) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
   2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
   1 tablespoon sugar
   1 teaspoon salt
   1 teaspoon onion powder
   3/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
   1 package fast-acting dry yeast
   1 1/4 cups buttermilk
   2 tablespoons margarine or butter
   1 egg


Grease 2-quart round casserole. Press 1/2 cup of the cheese onto sides and bottom of dish.

In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour, sugar, salt, onion powder, thyme and yeast; mix well. In small saucepan, heat buttermilk and margarine until very warm (120 to 130°F.). Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture; beat at medium speed for 3 minutes.

By hand, stir in remaining flour; mix well. Stir in remaining cheese. Spoon batter into cheese-coated dish. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85°F.) until light and doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.

Heat oven to 350°F. Uncover dough. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Cool 30 minutes; invert bread onto serving platter. (Bread will release from casserole in 45 to 60 seconds.) Remove casserole; cool 15 minutes before slicing. If desired, serve warm with butter.

*TIP: To substitute for buttermilk, use 4 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice plus milk to make 1 1/4, cups.
