Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Flavor Ingredients
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried
  • extra flour for dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture to the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough begins to form.
  4. On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.
Baking
  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces (about the size of a golf ball).
  2. Dip each piece into the garlic butter and layer them in a greased bundt pan or loaf pan.
  3. Cover the pan and let the dough rise again for approximately 30-45 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan.
  6. Serve it warm, with extra garlic butter on the side if you like!

Notes

Don’t skip the yeast proofing; it ensures the bread rises perfectly. Feel free to experiment with herbs and add grated cheese for flavor.
