2cupswarm milk

2eggs
3teaspoonssugar
2teaspoonssalt
6 - 7cupsall-purpose flour
2cupsshredded cheddar cheese
2cans4 oz each diced green chiles
Instructions
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast and the warm water. Let sit until the yeast starts to bloom. Add in the milk, butter, eggs, sugar, salt and 4 cups of the flour. Continue adding the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Add in the cheese and green chiles, then add more flour if needed for the dough to pull together. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each section into a loaf and place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, 45 minutes to an hour.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the bread from the pans to cool completely.
