Herb and Cheese Bread

6 cups all-purpose flour
2 envelopes active dry yeast
3 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
2 tbsp shortening
2 cups very warm water

Mix 3 cups of flour with the yeast, sugar, salt and shortening in a large bowl; add the warm water. Stir.
Add in:
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried dill weed
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Mix together.
Add in the remaining flour until the dough is easy to handle. Turn onto lightly floured board, knead until dough is elastic... About ten minutes.
Put a little olive oil in the bottom of a bowl, turn the bread over a couple of times till coated, then cover the bowl and set in a warm place to rise for 40 minutes.
Divide dough in half, knead five or six times then let rest five minutes... Shape, (I just made the loaves round) brush with butter and let rise another 35 minutes. Don't let it over-rise.
Bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes...

Its really really yummy!
