Rosemary cheese bread

The crumb came out very soft and cake-like even after a lot of kneading. I will use bread flour next time and try a longer rise time.

Mix and allow to foam:
2 Tbs yeast
2 Tbs sugar
2 c warm water

Then add:
3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
4 c flour

Mix, then add:
1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary

Let rise 1 hour, then punch down and form into two loaves. Let rise for another hour, then top with grated cheese. I used cheddar on one loaf and Parmesan on the other -- both were great. Bake at 425*F for about 25 minutes.
