ITALIAN CHEESE BREAD RING



Italian Cheese Bread Ring image

This is a very delicious bread with an Italian cheese filling, I have been making it for years and am never disappointed. Very easy to make, it is a yeast batter bread so no kneading is required, I like to cut into this and serve while it is still warm. The cheese is actually a filling and not mixed in with the batter.
