For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Romano cheese. If the dough is too sticky to handle, lightly flour your hands and the work surface. To ensure even baking, rotate the pan(s) halfway through the baking time. This bread is best served warm or at room temperature.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Lightly grease a large mixing bowl. (Prep Time: 10 minutes)
02
StepStir flour and eggs into yeast mixture; beat on medium-low speed for about 10 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Add cheese and softened butter; beat a few minutes more, until fully incorporated. Dough will be very sticky. Scoop dough into greased mixing bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour. Deflate dough and gently fold it over itself; cover and let rise again for 1 hour. (Prep Time: 2 hours 20 minutes)
03
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans or a tube pan. (Prep Time: 10 minutes)
04
StepTransfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Divide the dough in half, if using loaf pans, or shape it into a log if using a tube pan. Transfer dough to prepared pan(s). Let rise for 30 minutes. (Prep Time: 40 minutes)
05
StepBake in preheated oven until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when their bottoms are tapped, about 60 minutes. Remove from pans and place on a wire rack to cool completely. (Cook Time: 1 hour)
