Use a stand mixer with a bread hook. Put all of the ingredients EXCEPT the cheese into the mixer bowl. First mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon then use the bread hook to knead for about 15 minutes. The dough will be sticky.

Slowly add the cheese and continue to blend with the dough hook.

Spray a glass bowl with baking spray. Form a ball of dough and place it in the sprayed bowl. Turn the ball of dough a few times so that all sides are covered. Then spray a sheet of plastic wrap with baking spray and place on top of the bowl. Let the dough rise for one hour.

Punch down the dough a few times, folding the sides into the middle. Let the dough rest for an additional hour.

Divide the dough into three strands and braid, tucking the ends under as you place the braided dough into a greased loaf pan.

Use the sprayed plastic wrap and cover the dough pan. The dough will need to rise for about 2 hours or until it is nearly double in height.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

Make an egg wash by whisking together the egg white and a small bit of water. Brush this on top of your bread.

Bake the bread for 15 minutes at 425 degrees, then reduce the oven temp to 350 degrees F. If the top has browned already, use a piece of aluminum foil to cover the top of the bread. Bake for 30 more minutes.

Remove from the oven and let the bread sit in the pan for 5-10 minutes before placing it on a wire cooling rack. If you knock on the bottom of the bread it should sound hollow. If not, bake the bread for another 15 minutes.
