Herb and Garlic Pull Apart Bread

Yield: 1 loaf sized 9”x5”

Dough:

• 1.5 cups Milk, warm

• 1/4 cup Butter, melted

• 3 cups Flour

• 1.5 teaspoons Salt

• 1.5 teaspoons Instant Yeast

• 3 Tablespoons Sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon Pepper

Herb and Garlic Butter:

• 1/3 cup Butter, soft

• 2 cloves Garlic, chopped

• 1/2 cup chopped herbs - I used green onion, cilantro and parsley, but use what you got!

• pinch of Salt

• pinch of pepper

1. In the bowl of your mixer combine all the dry ingredients for your dough - flour, salt, instant yeast, sugar and pepper. Toss to combine, then add your warm milk and melted butter.

2. Mix with the dough hook about 10 minutes or until the dough is no longer sticking to the sides of your bowl and is in a nice firm ball around the dough hook.

3. Place the dough into a grease bowl with a lid and let sit at room temperature for about 1 hour or until doubled.

4. While the dough is resting, stir together the herb butter- soft butter, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper.

5. Once your dough is ready, roll it into a large rectangle about 12'“x16” on a lightly floured surface.

6. Now spread your garlic butter on top of the dough covering the entire thing.

7. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 12 pieces 3 columns x 4 rows, don’t worry if some aren’t exactly square.

8. Now grab one of the 12 squares and fold it in half so the butter layer is in the inside like a herb butter taco, you will do this with each square of dough.

9. Place all the folded pieces of dough into a greased loaf pan, placing the folded edge on the bottom of the pan so you can see the buttery centre from the top of your loaf. I find it easiest to place my loaf pan on it’s side so I can stack all the pieces of dough on top of each other without them falling over, then I can place the pan back on it’s bottom and rearrange the pieces if needed.

10. Once all your dough is in the pan, cover with a piece of saran wrap and let sit at room temperature until it has expanded and filled the pan, about 1 hour.

11. Bake in a preheated 350*F oven for about 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

12. Cool and eat!
