• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, dried dill weed, salt, sugar, instant yeast, and shredded cheddar cheese.
2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil.
3. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a dough begins to form.
4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the dough with oil.
6. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
7. After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
8. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a loaf shape.
9. Place the loaves on a greased baking sheet or in greased loaf pans, cover with a kitchen towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
10. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the loaves are rising.
11. Once the loaves have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
12. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
