A Good Recipe for a Cold Day

Here is another of Nancy's favorite recipes...thought it might be a good one for a cold day like this...comfort food. Leave a Comment if you try it; I'd love to know how it turns out!

Chunk 'O Cheese Bread

13/4 c. water

1/2 c. corn meal

2 t. salt

1/2 c. molasses

1 packet yeast

1/2 c. warm water

4-41/2 c. flour

1 lb. American cheese (I'd substitute cheddar), cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes

2 T. butter

Combine water, cornmeal and salt in saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Cook until slightly thick. Remove from heat; stir in molasses and butter; cool 'til lukewarm. Soften yeast in warm water in large bowl. Blend in cornmeal mixture. Gradually add flour to form dough. Knead until smooth...about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size...about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Line two 8" or 9" loaf  pans with foil and grease well. Place dough on surface sprinkled with cornmeal. Work cheese into dough. Divide into two parts. Shape into oval loaves, covering cheese cubes. Place in pans and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees about 40-55 minutes. Enjoy!
