Ingredients

Dough:

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups bread flour

Topping:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 pinch salt
  • some fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Instructions

  1. Dough Preparation: Add warm water to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Sprinkle sugar and yeast into the water and let it stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy. Mix in the butter, milk, and salt, then gradually stir in the flour. Knead for 7-10 minutes until the dough is elastic. Divide into 2 portions.
  2. Topping: Combine melted butter, salt, parsley, garlic, and Parmesan. Cut dough into pieces, dip in butter mixture, and place in loaf pans. Let rise for 1 hour.
  3. Baking: Bake at 350°F (176°C) for 30 minutes until golden brown. Baste with remaining butter mixture.

Notes

  • Source: Gather for Bread
  • Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water if the dough is too tough.
  • Dough should stick to the bottom of the bowl but clear the sides.
  • You can divide the dough balls into as many pieces as desired for the loaf pan.
