Italian Cheese Loaves

• 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
• 3 cups warm water (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 3 tablespoons shortening
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the shortening, sugar, salt and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Add the cheeses, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Do not let rise. Divide in half; shape into two loaves.
3. Place in two greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Do not let rise. Bake at 350u0b0 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Store in the refrigerator.
