Servings: persons

1-1/4 cups buttermilk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
5-1/4 to 5-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
Grated Parmesan cheese

1
In a large saucepan, heat the buttermilk and cheese over low heat, stirring until cheese is melted (mixture will appear curdled). Cool to 110u00b0 to 115u00b0. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Add the buttermilk mixture, eggs, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, for topping, combine cheddar cheese and chilies; set aside.
3
Punch dough down; turn onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Roll each portion into an 18x12-in. rectangle. Spray one half with cooking spray. Top with cheese mixture and remaining dough.
4
Cut into twelve 1-1/2-in. strips. Cut each strip in half and twist. Place 1 in. apart on greased foil-lined
5
. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
6
Bake at 375u00b0 for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
