Recipe
1 Mix yeast, warm water, and white sugar together in a large bowl. Set
aside for five minutes, or until mixture becomes foamy.
2 Stir olive oil, salt, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cheese, and 3cups flour into the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the next three
cups of
flour. Dough will be stiff.
3 Knead dough for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and rubbery.
Place in an oiled bowl, and turn to cover the surface of the dough
with oil.
Cover with a damp linen dish towel. Allow to rise for one hour, or
until the
dough has doubled in size.
4 Punch dough down to release all the air. Shape into two loaves. Place
loaves on a greased cookie sheet, or into two greased 9 x 5 inch loaf
pans.
Allow to rise until doubled in size, about a 30 minutes.
5 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Remove loaves
from pan(s), and let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes before
slicing.
