Buttery Herb Loaves Recipe

Prep: 45 min. + rising Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Yield: 32 Servings

45 20 65

Ingredients

4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups 2% milk
1/3 cup butter, cubed
2 eggs
FILLING:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients; set aside. Punch down dough; divide in half. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll each portion into a 15-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Spread filling over each to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seams to seal and tuck ends under.
Place seam side down in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).

Very nice flavor and texture.

Nice combination of herbs. Delicate soft bread.

The second rise needed 90 minutes. The house is cool.

In my oven the top cooked before the bottom so I quickly placed an empty cookie sheet on the rack above it. However, I believe that quick cook on top made the swirls separate so the bread had a gap. Still, it tasted great. I will definitely make it again, but I will put the cookie sheet above it from the beginning.

I made this bread to go with a pot of soup and everyone thought it was excellent. Will definately make it again.

I love making home made bread, especially in fall and winter. It reminds me of my mom, she always made home made bread growing up on the farm. I don't believe in bread machines. I make my mom's bread recipes, but tried this one and realy like it. Not as good as hers, but it's realy good.

I made one loaf and one batch of rolls and the rolls were a big hit. I'm definitely going to make it again.

Used the dough hook, and it worked out fine. I added 1/2 cup unsalted suflower seeds to the dough. Great toast!

I used my bread machine on the dough cycle and then followed the recipe from there. Loved the texture of this bread.

Didn't rate this as yet because I haven't tried making it. Is a dough hook used to mix this?
