Beer, Herb, and Cheddar Bread

Ingredients:

3 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp dried parsley (1 Tbsp fresh)
3/4 tsp dried rosemary (2 tsp fresh)
3/4 tsp dried thyme (1 Tbsp fresh)
1 1/2 cups or 1 bag shredded cheddar cheese blend
12 oz beer of choice

Method:

Combine flour, soda, and salt in a large bowl.  Add herbs and most of the cheese (reserve a good handful to top the loaf before baking) and combine once more.  Pour in beer slowly and mix all til just combined, making sure all flour has been incorporated.  You may need to turn the dough with your hands a couple times to do that.  Press dough into a greased loaf pan, stretching to the corners and leveling the top.  Cover with the remaining cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-60 minutes until loaf is browned and sounds hollow when tapped.  Cool before slicing and use a serrated knife.
