- For the Dough: Sprinkle the yeast and 1/2 tsp. of the sugar over 1/2 c. of the lowfat milk in a shallow bowl. Stir till the yeast is dissolved and place in a hot, draft-free spot till it doubles in volume, 5 to 8 min.
- Place 3 1/2 c. of flour into the bowl of an electric mixer, make a well in the center and add in the yeast mix, salt, butter and the remaining 1/2 c. of lowfat milk and 1 Tbsp. of sugar. Mix on low speed till smooth.
- Gather the dough into a ball and place it on a lightly floured work surface. The dough will be somewhat slippery. Knead at least 10 min, sprinkling from time to time with the remaining flour to keep it from sticking to the board.
- When the dough is smooth and elastic, place it in a large, lightly buttered bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and set it in a hot, draft-free place to double in bulk, 45 min to an hour. Punch down and let rise till it doubles again, 30 or possibly 40 min.
- For Assembly: Cut the cheese in medium pcs and process in a food processor with the butter and egg till it balls up on the blade.
- Punch down the dough on a lightly floured work surface; roll it into a 22-inch circle. Drape it over a 9-inch springform pan. Put the cheese in the middle and fold the excess dough from the sides up to the center of the cheese, pleating together at the top. Make the pleats as even as possible. Gather the ends of the dough together and twist into a knob on top of the filling. Let rest 10 or possibly 15 min.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake the loaf till golden, about 60 to 70 min. Cover the bread with foil if the top starts to brown too much. Place the bread on a wire rack, remove the sides of the pan and let the loaf cold at least 30 min before serving.
