Potato Sour Cream and Chive Bread Recipe
February 20th, 2009 by chuck

The only way I’ll eat a baked potato is with tons of Sour Cream, melted Butter and chopped Chives smoothing the top of the potato. Sometimes I’ll add a little bacon bits too. I don’t know what it is about that combination, but it tastes amazing. It may not be the healthiest in the world, but than … if you only have it once in awhile it’s OK … Right?
Anyways, I wanted to make a bread with these delicious flavors. Actually, I made both buns ( one dozen ) and a loaf of bread, out of this recipe. Both turned out delicious and full of flavor. If you look at the photos, you will notice that they look like two different breads. The buns are topped with flour before baking and you get this white flour topping with a slight browne color. I think the flour topping looks great on these buns. However, I didn’t feel the loaf would look as good, so I beat an egg white till it became very foamy and brushed the foam on top of the loaf, before baking. When I removed it from the oven I had this gorgeous bubbly texture on top. The color is this rich golden color that is beautiful onto it’s self.

It really doesn’t matter what kind of topping you use, they both look and taste great. Just be sure to have a bowl of chili or hot creamy soup to go with them.

Sorry… forgot to say great post – can’t wait to read your next one!
Is that a bowl of hearty chili nearby? Oh man, that would great with the bread. It looks fantastic!
I’ve heard that potato bread lots of times here in Turkey, but never tried it. I just buy them from bakeries, but after this post showing the step by step recipe, I think I’ll give it a try at home.
OK, I confess I have never made bread with potato in it. But I LOVE potato bread. In fact, my fave hot dog buns at the store are potato ones.
Once again Chuck you dazzle me with your bread making skills and lure me over to the carb side with this delectable bread!
oh-so-fluffy! one of my favorite potato chips is sour cream and onion, so this is kinda like an improved version of that.
Oh, I agree wholeheartedly about eating a baked potato. Otherwise, they’re just dry! Both the loaf and the buns look wonderful. I’ll have to keep this recipe in mind…
Beautiful pictures!
Love the chives in the bread..will try tht.
Bookmarked. I am going to try the buns soon.
Oh wow this looks fantastic, fragrant and so appetising! YUM!
Chives & sour creme are perfect with baked potatoes, & why not bake a bread! what an idea & gorgeous pictures.

Well, I enjoy a baked potato just about any way I can imagine but is one of my favorites. Beautiful bread!

This is a wonderful loaf. And the photos are perfect, too.
