HERB SOUR CREAM BREAD
2 packages dry yeast (or 2 tbsp.) 1/2 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F) 1 cup sour cream, warm* 6 tablespoons butter 1/3 cup sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon marjoram leaves** 1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves** 1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves** 2 eggs, room temperature 3 3/4 to 4 3/4 cups unsifted flour, divided use
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
Dump everything in a bowl, putting in three cups of the flour, and beat it for about 1 minute.
Stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. Cover and let rise until doubled.
Stir down and turn it into two greased loaf pans or casseroles or whatever. Cover, let rise again.
Bake in a 375 oven for about 35 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on racks.
Notes from source: *I usually use the light or non-fat sour cream. It's a bit rich, though, which is likely the reason it is so well liked when I make it.
**Use fresh herbs! Three times the amount of herbs as called for above if you do use fresh. It really makes a difference.
The recipe is from one of those brand-name cookbooks, this one I found when I was helping my grandmother move.
