Instructions

1
In a very large bowl, combine 7 cups of flour, cheese, jalapenos, 7 tablespoons sugar and the salt; mix well.
2
In a separate bowl, combine the water, yeast and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
3
Let sit about 10 minutes; stir until all yeast is dissolved.
4
Add the oil to the liquid mixture, stirring .
5
Add half of the liquid mixture to the flour mixture.
6
Mix with hands to moisten flour as much as possible.
7
Add remaining liquid mixture to dough and mix until flour is thoroughly incorporated.
8
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and elastic to the touch, about 15 minutes, gradually adding only enough additional flour to keep dough from sticking.
9
Place in a large greased bowl and invert dough so top is greased; cover with a dry towel and let stand in a warm place (90 - 100F) until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down dough.

To Make Bread: Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Form each into a ball, then stretch out dough with both hands and tuck edges under to form a smooth surface. Pop any large air bubbles by pinching them. Form into loaves. (Note: I like to use a rolling pin and roll out dough, which pops all bubbles easily and quickly.)
11
Place in 3 greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Cover with towel again and allow to rise until almost doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
12
Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) until dark brown and done, about 1 hour, rotating the pans after 25 minutes for more even browning.
13
Remove from pan as soon as bread will easily lift out, after about 5 to 10 minutes.
14
Let cool about 1 hour before slicing.
