    2/3 c. melted butter
    2 eggs
    1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
    1 (4 oz.) can diced chilies
    1 pkg. active dry yeast
    1 c. lukewarm water (105~ to 115~)
    1/8 tsp. sugar
    2 Tbsp. honey

Preparation
    In a large bowl, combine yeast and lukewarm water. Sprinkle the sugar on top and set aside until the yeast begins to bubble (5 to 10 minutes). Add the honey, salt and 1/4 cup of the oil and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended (about 30 seconds).
    Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in 2 cups of the flour at moderately high speed for 3 minutes. Mix in 1 cup of flour by hand.
