As a dairy farmer, I like to promote our products. This cheesy, golden loaf—a proven winner at our state fair—tastes wonderful either fresh from the oven or cooled and sliced. —Jeanne Kemper, Bagdad, Kentucky
Ingredients
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)

- 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)

- Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
- Stir dough down; transfer to 2 greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine egg white and water. In another bowl, combine topping ingredients. Brush loaves with egg white mixture; sprinkle with topping. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
