1 Pkg dry yeast
1 beaten egg
¼ c warm water
6 to 7 cups all purpose flour
2 cups milk, scalded
2 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ c sugar 
1 t salt
1 T melted butter

Dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside. Combine milk, ¼ c. butter, sugar and salt in bowl; stir until butter melts.  Cool to 110 degrees.  Add egg, yeast mixture, and 2 c flour; mix well.  Stir in cheese, onion and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface; knead 8 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.  Shape into a ball.  Place dough in a greased bowl; let rise in warm place 1 ½ hours or until doubled in bulk.

Punch dough down; cover and let rest 10 minutes.  Divide dough in half; divide each half into 10 equal pieces.  Roll each piece into a ball, and place on greased baking sheets about 2 inches apart.  Press each ball down lightly to resemble a bun.

Cover and let rise in warm place 1 ½ hours until doubles.  Bake in 375 degree oven 15 minutes or until golden.
