- 1 pkg. Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix
- 1 cup water heated to 120 to 130 degrees F
- 2 Tbls. Margarine or butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbls. Margarine or butter, melted
- 3 oz (3/4 cup) shredded Swiss Cheese
- 3 oz (3/4 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese

Grease cookie sheet. In large bowl, combine flour mixture with yeast from foil packet; blend well. Stir in hot water, 2 Tbls margarine and egg until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. With greased or floured hands, shape dough into a ball. Knead dough for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover dough with large bowl; let rise 5 minutes.
On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 16x9-inch rectangle. Brush with 1 Tbls. Margarine. In small bowl combine cheeses, pepper, and Italian herbs. Sprinkle evenly over dough. Cut lengthwise, edges of each strip together to enclose filling; pinch to seal. Place strips side by side, seam side down, on greased cookie sheet. Braid strips together; tuck ends under to seal. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85 degrees F) 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Uncover dough. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; brush with melted margarine. Serve warm. (1-16 slice loaf)
