Cheese Bread

My dear April has really taken a liking to making her own bread. She just makes it up as she goes. Usually she makes sweet breads and they are amazing. Last night she was in charge of dinner and decided to branch out. Her creation was outstanding. She also thought to measure and write it down this time.

April's Cheese Bread

3 1/2 cups flour
1 T salt
1/4 cup oil
1 cup warm water
1 T yeast
2 T sugar
1 cup cheddar cheese (optional)
Several cups more flour

In small bowl, mix water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes. In large bowl mix flour, salt, and cheese. Add oil and mix. Add yeast mixture. Add flour 1/2 cup at a time until soft dough is formed. Place in pans. Allow to rise until double. Cook at 350 for about 30 minutes. Brush tops with butter. Can cook in any pan you like. Makes 3-4 loaves of bread depending on size you want.

Ours could have been split to a third pan, but it was soooo good.
