Preparation

Step 1

1.Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix it all together with your hands for about 20 minutes or until all ingredients are well combined.
2.Let dough rest for a few minutes (optional)
3.Spray three cookie sheets with cooking spray or just spread butter around it so that the bread doesn't stick.
4.With your hand grab the dough and circle it around your palms making the shape of a ball (about half a Tblsp worth although you can make it bigger if you'd like. Just be aware that the yield would be less)
5.Preheat oven to 350
6.Place the dough balls on the cookie sheet at least 1 1/2 inches apart so they don't join.
7.Bake the cheese bread for about 30 minutes. When their bottoms are golden brown they are done. Don't let it get too dark on the bottom or else they'll burn.
