Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
3/4 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
2 tablespoons shortening
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2-1/4 to 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups shredded process cheese (Velveeta)
1 large egg, beaten
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
Caraway seeds or poppy seeds

Directions

1

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add warm milk, shortening, sugar, salt and 1-1/4 cups flour. Beat until smooth; stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2

Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3

Punch dough down. Pat into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine cheese, egg, milk and onion. Spread over dough. Sprinkle with caraway seeds or poppy seeds.
4

Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve warm.
