5 3/4 to 6 3/4 cups unsifted flour
 3 TBLS sugar
 1 1/2 tsp. salt
 2 packages active dry yeast
 2 TBLS softened margarine
 2 cups very hot tap water
 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
 In a large bowl thoroughly mix 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and
 undissolved yeast.  Add margarine.
 Gradually add very hot tap water to dry ingredients and beat 2
 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally.  Add 1 cup
 flour, or enough flour to make a thick batter.  Beat at high speed
 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.  Stir in cheese, onion and
 enough additional flour to make a soft dough.  Turn out onto lightly
 floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
 Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in
 warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about one hour.
 Punch dough down; turn out onto lightly floured board.  Divide
 dough into 20 equal pieces.  Form each piece into a smooth ball;
 place balls 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover; let
 rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about
 45 minutes.
 Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) about 15-20 minutes, or until done.
 Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
