Guests will reach for seconds once they sample a slice from one of these fragrant little loaves. You can also make breadsticks with this dough, suggests Debra Hartze of Zeeland, North Dakota. Ingredients:
2 to 2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour |
4-1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes |
1/2 cup milk |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 egg |
6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, sugar, yeast, garlic salt, Italian seasoning and parsley. In a saucepan, heat milk, water and 1 tablespoon butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough; beat until smooth.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into thirds; shape into loaves. Place in three greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25 minutes.
4. Melt remaining butter; brush over dough. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: 3 loaves (4 slices each).
