Sour Cream Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg. dry yeast
3 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. warm water
1 (16 oz.) carton commercial sour cream
1 Tbsp. salt
1/4 tsp. soda
4 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Preparation

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in small mixing bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
Combine sour cream, salt and soda in a large mixing bowl; add yeast mixture, mixing well.
Gradually add flour and mix well.
Turn dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Shape into a ball; place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down and divide in half.
Place each half in greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.
Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
Bake at 375\u00b0 for 35 to 40 minutes.
Yields 2 loaves.
(I make rolls from dough instead of bread.)
