1/4 cup warm water
1 cup milk
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon shortening 3 3/4 cups sifted flour (about)
1 egg
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Soften yeast in water. Scald milk, add sugar, salt and shortening and stir to dissolve. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in 1 cup flour, the egg and cheese. Add softened yeast. Beat well. Add remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough.
Turn out onto lightly floured pastry cloth and knead until smooth and satiny, about 5 to 8 minutes. Placed in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours). Punch down. Let rest 10 minutes.
