honestly, i could only be more proud if i had milked the cow and made the fucking butter myself. chives are incredibly easy to grow. they're the first thing to pop up in the spring and the last thing to go before winter. usually when i cook, you can find me in the kitchen with a handful of chives wondering where i can fit them in. this was too easy. obviously, i'm not the first person to put these two ingredients together (as my neighbor was quick to comment) but it came to me and it was fucking genius. i recommend using salted butter, about a half a stick and a fistful of chopped chives. just bring the butter to room temperature and with an electric mixer on low, whip until all creamy and delicious looking. oh, and don't forget to add some salt and pepper too.
anyway, i made another loaf of bread and we had leftovers tonight which afforded me the chance to photograph all this goodness!
not too bad for my second loaf!
do you see the steam?!
the most incredible butta evah!
mmmmm....
i am in bread and butter heaven

I was on a big ass bread making kick this winter. Kinda got out of it since the weather started turning. You should try a wheat! Email me and I will send you the recipe for an Amish sweet bread that is super tasty!
