This is a compound bread using a simple soft white roll dough with cheese and herbs developed into the dough. A tasty bread that you can be creative with by changing the types of cheese and herbs used. Baked in round aluminum tins, they make great gift breads. Ingredients:

4 ounces sugar |
4 ounces butter |
4 ounces shortening |
