Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) package hot bread roll mix with yeast
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 1/4 cups beer
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, mix the hot bread roll mix with yeast and Cheddar cheese.
In a microwave or small saucepan, heat the beer to almost boiling. Stir beer and egg into the flour mixture and knead 5 minutes. Allow the dough to rest 5 minutes, then roll into desired shape. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
