Sour-Cream Bread

Laurel, who has previous been mentioned, has been raving lately about Strauss' new sour cream. And then, aha, there's a recipe for sour cream bread! It's like kismet. We got the sour cream. It is, indeed, delicious.
See? Watson liked licking out the container. And we know dogs won't eat just any old dairy product.

Anyway, the best thing about this bread was the dough. It smelled like the breath of angels. We kept sticking our noses up against it and going, "Mmmmmmmmm." The dough was a bit soft, and didn't rise very zestily, but it all came out beautiful. See?
 Very pretty loaf, lovely crumb. But for all that rich dairy, the bread was surprisingly light and fluffy!
 So, not so good for sandwiches - too light. But lovely for toast, because it browns so nicely.
And the french toast we made with it was definitely a winner.

Easy to make, enticing dough, and very respectable product. Hooray!
