Cheesy Pull Apart Bread

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of whole wheat pastry flour with sugar, salt and yeast, and stir to mix.
2. In a small bowl whisk to combine milk, 3 tablespoons olive oil and water. Add milk mixture to the flour and stir to combine. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until each is combined. Add in 8 ounces of the grated cheddar cheese and mix with your hands to incorporate the cheese. Add the remaining all-purpose flour and knead the dough. It will still be sticky but resist adding more flour.
3. Set the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel, then set in a warm place to rise for one hour. After one hour, punch the dough down and either refrigerate for later use, or use it now. Lightly flour your workspace and using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a giant rectangle about 12 x 12 inches. Brush the dough with the remaining olive oil then covered it with the remaining grated cheese.
4. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough from top to bottom into 6 even strips &ndash, they do not have to be perfect. Lay the strips on top of each other (be careful you don&rsquo,t lose the cheese!) and then cut into 6 pieces again. Grease and lightly flour a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Layer the square slices into the loaf pan from small end to small end of the pan. Cover the dough with a towel and let rise for another hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and set the loaf pan on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
