Directions
- Following bread machine manual, place ingredients except egg white and 2 tablespoons cheese in bread machine pan. Program on DOUGH cycle. Check dough after 5 minutes; if necessary add extra water or flour, one tablespoon at a time, to form a moist dough ball around kneading blade.
- Meanwhile, spray a 12 x 18 x 1-inch sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- When cycle is complete, remove dough from pan and gently deflate.
- Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll into 17-inch ropes. Twist 2 ropes together, pinch ends and turn under. Shape into a crescent shape and place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 2 ropes, leaving room between loaves.
