- 6 cups all purpose flour
- 3� cups warm water
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2� cup cheddar cheese, fresh grated not bagged

- In a large mixing bowl combine water, yeast, salt and sugar. Allow mixture to sit for several minutes.
- Add flour, two cups of cheese, � bacon and fresh ground black pepper. Stir with spoon until combined. Dough will be shaggy. Don�t stress if it looks messy. It will come together in the end.
- Cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm place for an hour.
- After an hour, turn dough out onto a floured board and knead for a few minutes. It does not need to be completely smooth. Just knead it long enough to come together. Divide dough into two equal halves and place in standard loaf pans.
- Cover loaves with remaining cheese and bacon. Cover with towel and allow to rest for thirty minutes.
- Bake in a 400� oven for fifteen minutes. Cover loosely with foil and reduce heat to 350� and continue baking for another 35 minutes. Remove foil and allow to bake for another 10 minutes.
Notes:
If the dough feels too wet, add a little more flour but know that this dough is a bit stickier than most.
