This recipe has earned the goodfibes™ seal indicating it is a good source of fiber. Cheddar cheese and garlic powder makes this whole wheat bread flavorful and nourishing.  

2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 envelopes Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast
1-1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt
1-1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup water
Melted butter (optional)

Directions
Combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, cheese, garlic powder and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk and water until very warm (120 to 130^oF). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough in half; shape each half into 5-inch ball. Place each on greased baking sheet. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Make 2 (1/2 –inch deep) diagonal slashes across top of each loaf.

Bake at 375^oF for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Remove from sheets; brush with melted butter, if desired. Cool on wire rack.
