  • 3 cups bread flour, divided
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Red Star Active Dry Yeast
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
  • 5 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds

Instructions

  • In stand mixer bowl, add 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. In saucepan or microwave-safe dish, heat water, oil, sour cream, and strawberries to 120-130°F. Add to flour mixture. Using a paddle attachment, blend on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes.

    (NOTE: For hand mixing: following above steps, mix ingredients in large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon or dough whisk. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic.)

Pinch edges and taper ends to seal. Place in prepared pan. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after touching. Bake in preheated 375°F oven 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from pan; cool.
