Best 3 Potato Chive Bread Recipes

TARRAGON & CHIVE POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Combine 3 cups flour and yeast in a large bowl.
• Heat milk, sugar, salt and butter until butter melts, and stir into dry ingredients in bowl along with soup, sour cream, chives and tarragon.
• Beat in more flour, gradually, until dough becomes too stiff to stir.
• Turn out onto floured surface and knead 5 to 8 minutes, adding only as much flour as needed to produce a dough that is smooth, elastic and just past the point of being sticky.
• Put in a large oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap.
• Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
• Punch down, and divide in half to make 2 loaves.
• Pre-heat oven to 375F (400 at 6000 ft).
• Place loaves in well greased pans, cover and let rise until doubled in bulk (about 30 minutes).
• Bake bread in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, or until browned and hollow sounding when tapped (May have to cover with foil tent the last 10 minutes to prevent excessive browning).
• Brush hot loaves with butter.
• Remove from pans and place on rack to cool.

SOUR CREAM & CHIVE POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients and mix till cohesive. Knead the dough, by hand or mixer, till it's smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes, adding water or flour if needed. The dough will become fairly elastic, though still somewhat stiff. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl or dough-rising bucket, cover it, and allow it to rise for 60 to 90 minutes, until it's quite puffy (though not necessarily doubled in bulk.).
• Shape the dough into an 8-inch log, and place it in a lightly greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Cover the pan with a proof cover or lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow the loaf to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it's crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan.
• For sandwich rolls, divide the dough into six pieces, each about 4 1/2 ounces in weight. Roll each piece into a smooth ball, then flatten the balls (using your fingers and/or a rolling pin) till they're about 4 inches in diameter. Place them on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1 inch apart, and cover them with a proof cover or lightly greased plastic wrap. Allow the rolls to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour (or longer, depending on the temperature of your kitchen), till they're noticeably puffy, though probably not doubled in bulk.
• Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for about 40 minutes; an instant read thermometer inserted into the center will read about 190°F Bake the rolls in a preheated 350°F oven for 22 to 27 minutes, or until they're a light golden brown. Remove the bread or rolls from the oven, and brush with melted butter, if desired, for a soft, flavorful crust. Transfer to a rack to cool.

If your bread machine has a horizontal pan, however, there isn't enough dough to make a good loaf of baked bread.Try ThisInstead of fresh chives, use 1 tablespoon freeze-dried chives in the 1-pound loaf or 2 tablespoons in the 1 ½ -pound loaf. For a flavor twist, try ¾ teaspoon dried tarragon leaves in the 1-pound loaf and 1 teaspoon in the 1 1/2 -pound loaf.From "Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook, The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way."
