- 20–25 Minutes
- 2 Slices
Ingredients
- 4 to 4½ cups bread flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons yeast
- 2 teaspoons dried basil, or 2 tablespoons fresh
- 1¾ teaspoons dill weed or 1 tablespoon fresh
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder or 1–2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ¾ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed, or 1/2 tablespoon fresh
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup butter, cubed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, sugar, yeast and seasonings.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water and cubed butter to 120–130℉.
- Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened.
- Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into thirds. Shape each into a 15-inch rope.
- Place ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 375℉ for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
