Double cheese and chive loaf

I've tried making bread before and never really had a satisfactory out come.  But for Christmas I received Dan Lepard's Short and Sweet, the best of home baking, and thought I should have another go.  Dan says its all about the length of time you leave it to rise, not about the kneading, so I had a go at this double cheese and chive loaf and was very pleased at the results.  
The last couple of loafs I made were sticky right up to the end and were hard and didn't taste so good.  This time I had a loaf that had stopped being sticky after the first knead and is soft and full of air.  And not only that it was so easy to make.  I'm really looking forward to trying his other recipes.
