Whisk together the flours, yeast and salt in a large bowl.

Add the 1 1/2 cups of warm water and red wine and mix.

Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise for about 2 hours.

Punch it down and allow it to rise once more, and then punch it down again.

Dust the surface of a bread board or cutting board with flour and cut the dough into 3 chunks.

Knead the chunks one at a time.

Divide the cheddar cheese into 3 piles.

Knead 1 pile into each of the 3 loaves.

Shape the loaves into football shaped chunks.

Place the loaves onto a greased cookie sheet.

Just before baking, use a pastry brush to paint the tops of the loaves with the mixture of 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water.

Slash the tops of the loaves with 1/2 inch parallel cuts.

The cuts may be crisscrossed to form a design.

Place the bread in a 450°F oven.

Pour the 1 cup of hot water in a cake pan on the lowest oven rack and shut the door.

Bake for about 30 minutes.

Allow the bread to cool before slicing.
