Loaf of the Week - Cheddar Cheese bread

Tonight for dinner we had london broil in a garlicy marinade, spinach salad and this bread. This is a good hearty whole wheat bread with good sized chunks of cheddar melted throughout.

1.5c whitet flour
1.25c whole wheat flour
2.25 teas dry yeast
2 teas sea salt
1c & 3 tblsp warm water
2 tblsp oil
1 tbls honey
6oz cheddar in 1/2" cubes

Mix the dry goods together. Mix the wet stuff together, add to the dry & mix. Knead gently 7-10 minutes until smooth (lowest speed on stand mixer) Let rise in warm place for 1.5 hours. Knead in the cheese chunks (cheese will be busting out all over). Grease loaf pan, form dough and place in pan, let rise for an hour. Bake at 350 for 40- 45 minutes.

Mayhem was in a mood tonight & refused to eat anything, though he was eventually persuaded to eat some bread. Normally he loves this bread. I know it's just a phase but the frustration with it really starts to build after a few days.
