Bake Time:
30 to 35 minutes

1 envelope	Fleischmann’s^® Active Dry Yeast
3/4 cup	warm water (100°F to 110°F)
2 tablespoons	sugar
3-1/2 to 3-3/4 cups	flour, divided

Combine yeast and warm water in mixing bowl. Stir in sugar, 1 cup flour and 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic salt. Beat well. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Beat in butter. Add remaining 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 cups flour to make a soft dough.

Turn out on floured surface and knead 5 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Knead lightly again. Divide dough in half. Roll each piece into an 8x5-inch rectangle.

Mix cheese, basil, remaining egg and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt in a small bowl. Spread cheese mixture over dough. Roll up in a long roll. Place each roll in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until top is browned and sounds hollow when tapped.

Recipe Note: To speed rising time, cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise on the upper rack of a cool oven with a bowl of hot water placed on the rack below.
