Golden Swiss Cheese Loaves

In contrast to the two commands of Christ, the Pharisees had developed a system of 613 laws, 365 negative commands and 248 positive laws... By the time Christ came it had produced a heartless, cold, and arrogant brand of righteousness. As such, it contained at least ten tragic flaws. 1. New laws continually need to be invented for new situations. 2. Accountability to God is replaced by accountability to men. 3. It reduces a person's ability to personally discern. 4. It creates a judgmental spirit. 5. The Pharisees confused personal preferences with divine law. 6. It produces inconsistencies. 7. It created a false standard of righteousness. 8. It became a burden to the Jews. 9. It was strictly external. 10. It was rejected by Christ.

INGREDIENTS

2		Active dry yeast
1 1/2	c	Warm water, about 110~
2	T	Sugar
1/4	c	Butter or margarine, melted
		cooled
1	t	Liquid hot pepper seasoning
1/4	c	Wheat germ
4 1/2	c	To 5 cups all-purpose flour
3/4	c	Shredded swiss cheese
1/3	c	Grated parmesan

INSTRUCTIONS

In large bowl of an electric mixer, dissolve yeast in warm water.  Stir
in sugar, the 1/4 cup melted butter, hot pepper seasoning, wheat  germ,
and 2 cups of the flour. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl  often,
for 4 minutes. Add 1 more cup of the flour and beat on high  speed for
4 minutes more.  With a heavy-duty mixer or wooden spoon beat in enough
of the  remaining flour (about 1-1/2 cups) to form a dough that is soft
but  not too sticky to knead. Turn out onto a floured board and knead
until smooth and satiny (5 to 20 minutes), adding flour as needed to
prevent sticking. Place dough in a greased bowl; turn over to grease
top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1-1/2
hours).  Punch dough down and, with your hands, gradually work in Swiss
cheese  and all but about 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Turn
dough  out onto a lightly floured board and divide in half. Shape each
loaf  into a smooth loaf and place in a greased 4-1/2 by 8-1/2-inch
loaf  pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until loaves have risen
slightly above pan rims (about 2    hours).  Brush lightly with melted
butter and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan  cheese. Bake in a
preheated 350-degree oven (325 for glass pans) for  30 to 35 minutes or
until loaves are browned. Turn out onto a rack to  cool. Makes 2  
loaves.  Source: Sunset: Breads Posted to MC-Recipe Digest by Brenda H.
