Ingredients
6 cups unsifted flour
2 pkgs dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons chopped chives (fresh or dried)
1 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
Cornmeal

Directions
Combine 3 cups of flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, salt, baking soda and chives.

Heat milk and water until very they just start to simmer (but don't let it become a full boil). Add to dry ingredients and beat well. Stir in sour cream and remaining flour to make a stiff batter.

Spoon into two bread loaf pans that have been sprayed with Pam (or nonstick spray) and sprinkled with cornmeal. Sprinkle more cornmeal on tops.

Lightly cover with a plastic ziploc bag and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, for 45 minutes.

Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Turn out of loaf pans and let cool on a rack.

Slice and serve with soup (good for dunking in the broth). Also makes great toast the next morning.
