- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees to 115 degrees)
- 3/4 cup warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar and salt. Stir in enough flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Punch dough down. Divide in half. Press each into a greased 9-in. pie plate.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter and seasonings; brush over dough. Sprinkle with cheese. Prick dough several times with a fork. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Store in the refrigerator.
