Title: Father Dominic's Herbal Encouragement Bread
Categories: Breads, Dairy, Herbs, Vegetables
Yield: 1 Loaf

1/4 oz Env Fleischmann's Active Dry
- Yeast
1/4 c Lukewarm water
8 oz Dairy sour cream
1 lg Egg
1 tb Oil
2 ts Honey
1/4 ts Baking soda
1 ts Salt
1/4 c Minced onion
1/2 ts Dried thyme
4 1/2 c All purpose unbleached
- flour; divided

Dissolve yeast in warm water in small bowl. Let stand 10
minutes, or until foamy.

Heat sour cream in a saucepan or microwave oven to
115ºF/46ºC. Pour warm sour cream into medium bowl. Add
egg, oil, honey, baking soda, salt, onion and thyme;
stir until thoroughly mixed.

Add yeast mixture; stir to mix. Add 4 cups of the flour,
1 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead
gently 1 minute. Let dough rest 10 minutes; this resting
period helps the dough to firm up.

Knead 4 minutes, adding small amounts of remaining flour
as needed to keep dough manageable. The dough will be
elastic but slightly sticky. Rinse and dry bowl, then
oil surface of dough and place dough in bowl. Cover with
a cloth and let rise in a warm, draft-free place about 1
hour, or until doubled.

Punch down dough. Knead briefly to expel large air
bubbles. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each
piece into an 18" rope. Braid the ropes to form a
loaf; tuck the ends underneath. Place loaf on lightly
greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise about 30
minutes, or until doubled. About 15 minutes before end
of rising time, set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Bake loaf 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and
bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from baking
sheet and let cool on wire rack 15 minutes, then brush
top and sides of loaf with melted butter, if desired.
