Cheesy Mashed Potato Bread

2 1/4 tsp. yeast (1 package)
1 tsp. sugar or honey
1 cup warm water (100-110 degrees)
3 1/2 cups flour, divided
1 1/2 cup cannery potato pearls, reconstituted
1 cup shredded cheese or 1/4 cup cheese powder
1 Tbsp. oil
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. red pepper (opt.)
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Dissolve yeast and sugar/honey in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, mashed potato pearls, 3/4 cup shredded cheese or cheese powder, oil, salt, mustard and pepper. Stir until well blended. Knead about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add a little of the remaining flour as needed to prevent it from sticking to hands. Place dough in oiled bowl, turning to coat surface, cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size (about 40-50 minutes). Punch down dough, add remaining cheese and knead until well blended. Continue to add reamining flour as needed to keep from sticking to hands. Roll out dough into large rectangle (14x7) , then starting at small end, roll it up tightly, making sure to squeeze out any air bubbles. Pinch the seam to seal and place it seam-down in an oiled loaf pan (9x5). Cover and let rise for 40- 45 minutes. Bake at 375 for 40- 50 minutes or until top is brown. Cool on wire rack, not in pan.
