Cheddar Bread

Ingredients:

1/2 C Warm Water

2 1/4 Tsp Yeast

1 T Sugar

1 1/2 C warm water

1/3 C olive oil

5 C Flour

2 Tsp Salt

3 T Sugar

1/4 C Cheddar

Directions:

In a bow or stand mixer bowl add a half cup of warm water, yeast and 1 T of sugar. Stir it up gently and let it sit for a few minutes. Then add your 1 1/2 C of warm water, oil, flour, salt and sugar. If you are using a stand mixer, use your dough hook. Let it mix together till it forms a nice ball.  You do not want it too sticky or dry. Place your ball of dough in a greased bowl and place it in a warm area and let it rise for an hour.  Once its risen you will punch it down and split the dough in half.  This will make two loaves. Take one and form it into a loaf and put it in a greased loaf pan and do the same with the second. Sprinkle both with cheddar cheese. Bake until bread is golden brown and no longer doughy.
