Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Loaded Baked Potato Bread
The bread might fall a little once you take it out of the oven. Don’t worry! That’s normal. Use nice smokey bacon for even more flavor. Use full-fat sour cream and whole milk for this recipe. Fat is flavor, people! Use sharp cheddar to add a little bite and saltiness to your bread. If you don’t have a springform pan, you can also bake this dough in two 9-inch loaf pans. This bread freezes beautifully! Slice it before you freeze it so you can grab whatever amount you like whenever you want. Wrap it well, and it will keep for up to 3 months.
