Bubble Herb Ring Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 25 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) quick-rise yeast
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon each dill weed, dried basil and rosemary, crushed
1 cup water
6 tablespoons butter, divided
1 egg

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 2-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, cheese, salt and herbs. In a small saucepan, heat water and 4 tablespoons butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll into a 12-in. square. Melt remaining butter and brush over dough. Cut into 25 squares.
Place dough squares, butter side down, in a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan, overlapping slightly. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm. Yield: 25 rolls.
