3/4 cup warm milk

2 tablespoons honey

2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine the warm milk, honey, and yeast. Wait 5 minutes till frothy. Put in the eggs, salt, and 3 1/2 cups of flour. Use the dough hook to mix till smooth, tossing in extra flour if the dough feels sticky.
02 -
Cover and let the dough puff up in the bowl at room temperature for about an hour. Look for it to double in size.
03 -
In a mixing bowl, toss together the cheese blend, fresh herbs, and garlic till well mixed.

Roll the dough into a rectangle about 12x18 inches. Spread the cheesy filling evenly over it, roll into a log, then slice lengthwise. Twist the halves together and shape into a coil on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 -
Rest the shaped loaf under a cover for 15 minutes. Pop it in a 350°F oven for 30-35 minutes, baking till it gets a golden look.
# Notes:

Serve warm—great with gooey cheese inside!

If using dried herbs, cut the quantity in half.
