Ingredients

1 1/2	packages	yeast, active dry
1/4	cup	water	warm
1	tablespoon	sugar
1	cup	milk
1	cup	butter	plus extra, for greasing bowl and mold
1	teaspoon	salt
3	large	eggs	beaten
3	cups	flour, all-purpose	or up to 4cups flour
3/4	cup	cheddar cheese	shredded

Directions

Soften yeast in warm water and stir in sugar. Scald milk in medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup butter and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Stir beaten eggs and yeast mixture into lukewarm milk mixture. Gradually beat in 3 cups flour and cheese with wooden spoon to make soft dough. If dough is too soft, gradually add more flour until desired consistency.

Transfer dough to greased bowl and turn to grease all over. Cover and let rise in warm place free from drafts until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Divide dough in half and roll out each portion on floured surface into rectangle 1/3-inch thick.

Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter. Cut dough into 3-inch diamond shapes. Dip each piece of dough into melted butter and layer in greased 10-inch ring mold, overlapping points. There should be 3 layers, but pan should be no more than 3/4 full or dough will pop off while baking. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Bake at 400 degrees until lightly browned, about 35 minutes.

Easy Hummus

Super easy to make -- took less than five minutes to whip up in the food processor. I used my garlic press on the cloves though to ensure it would really be well blended, ie. no chunks.
