Potato Cheese Herb Bread

Ingredients:

(Makes approximately 3 loaves)
2 1/2 cups lukewarm water
4 1/2 teaspoons yeast
4 Tablespoons sugar
1 (4oz) package Idahoan Four Cheese Mashed Potatoes
4 Tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
5-6 cups flour
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese or your choice)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add the water, yeast and sugar to the bowl.  Mix and allow to "proof" for about five minutes.  Start mixer and add potatoes, olive oil, salt, and spices.  Mix and then add 3 cups flour.  Continue mixing and adding flour until the dough is formed and is pulling away from the sides of the bowl. (I used 5 cups).  Then add the cheese.  Mix until combined. Dough will be dense.

Cover and let rise in a greased bowl for about 30-45 minutes or until double in size.

Form in to loaves and place in greased pans.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until lightly browned and when you tap on the top it sounds hollow.

When it comes out of the oven rub the top with butter.
