Garlic-Herb Braid Recipe

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

Yield: 16 Servings

20 20 40

Ingredients

4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) quick-rise yeast
2 teaspoons dried basil
1-3/4 teaspoons dill weed
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
3/4 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and seasonings. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, water and cubed butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add egg; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide dough into thirds. Shape each into a 15-in. rope. Place ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).

This is an amazing recipe! Since I found it I have been making it time and time again with requests for more!

Excellent bread and easy to make! To speed up the rising, I invert the lid on a crockpot and place the baking sheet with the dough on top of it. Turn the crockpot on low and it provides the perfect amount of warmth to allow the bread to rise...even in a cold kitchen.

This has become our favorite Garlic bread! I make it on the dough cycle of my bread machine and it is quick and wonderful! I don't add the rosemary (not a big rosemary fan) but I do add minced garlic and onion. WONDERFUL!

I made this bread for Mother's Day and it came out looking just like the picture! It tasted great and was a hit at dinner.

Wonderful flavor. Be sure to let it rise well or is too dense.
