Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons garlic salt

Directions

1

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, cheese, sugar, oil, salt, cayenne and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.
3

Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each into a 16x10-in. rectangle. Brush with butter; sprinkle with garlic salt. Cut into four 10x4-in. rectangles.
4

Stack butter side up. Cut each stack into five 4x2-in. strips. Place five strips, cut side down, in a greased 8x4-in. loaf pan. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
5

Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
