2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided
1/2 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of potato soup, undiluted
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup minced chives
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed
6 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
