Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter (3 softened + 4 melted)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup green onions (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by whisking warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl; let sit until foamy (5-10 minutes).
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add egg, softened butter, and activated yeast mixture; mix until dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth; alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Prepare garlic butter mixture by blending melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional herbs; stir in green onions.
- Roll out risen dough into a rectangle (12×8 inches), brush with garlic butter mixture, then roll tightly to form a log.
- Place log seam-side down in a greased loaf pan; cover and let rise for another 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush top with more garlic butter before baking for 28-32 minutes until golden brown.
