Just break off individual rolls from the herb loaves, and tuck a sliver of ham, turkey or slathered with butter. Yields: 2 loaves. (The rising time is not included in the prep. time)."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar, and garlic salt in a large mixing bowl; stir well.

Step 2

Combine milk and 1/3 cup butter in a saucepan; cook over medium-low heat until mixture reacches 120-130 degrees-Fahrenheit, stirring often.

Step 3

Gradually add hot milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring well. Add eggs; beat at low speed with an electric mixer stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Step 4

Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 6 - 8 minutes). Shape into a ball. Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top.

Step 5

Cover and let rise in a warm place (85-degrees-F), free from drafts, 30 or so minutes or until doubled in bulk.

Step 8

Spread 2 teaspoons herb butter on tops of dough rounds; fold in half, bringing bottom within 1/4-inch of top half, allowing herbe butter to peak through top.

Step 9

Place half-moons upright next to each other on a greased baking sheet.

Step 10

Repeat procedure with remaining dough and herb butter; making a second loaf. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 20 minutes or until doubled in bulk.

Brush loaves with remaining herb butter. Garnish if desired.

This bread is great and oh-so easy! We did use dried herbs but cut the amounts down since we used dried rather than fresh. I love pull-apart loaves and this worked out well and went great with our pasta tonight. Thanks for sharing!
