This aromatic loaf is rich with herbs, sweet onion, and a tender crumb—perfect for slicing, dipping, or serving alongside soups. It starts with chopped sweet onion sautéed in butter, then blended into a warm mixture of water, sour cream, sugar, and salt. The flavor base is layered with minced chives, dried basil, parsley flakes, oregano, dill weed, and dried minced garlic, creating a fragrant, savory profile.

Bread flour and active dry yeast form the dough, which is boiled briefly in water before baking—hinting at a bagel-style texture. A sprinkle of yellow cornmeal adds rustic crunch and visual appeal.

This bread is hearty, herbaceous, and perfect for sharing.
