    Ingredients you'll need:

    • Active dry yeast
    • Sugar
    • Butter
    • Whole milk or 2%
    • Salt
    • Eggs
    • All-purpose flour
    • Dried basil
    • Dried oregano
    • Dried rosemary
    • Garlic powder
    • Water
    • Garlic cloves
    • Parsley
    • Parmesan cheese
    • Chives

    Equipment:

    • Loaf pan
    • Stand mixer, dough hook and bowl
    • Large bowl
    • Small bowl
    • Pastry cutter or knife
    • Measuring cups and spoons

    Instructions:

    In the bowl of your electric mixer, stir together 2 cups of the flour, sugar and yeast.

    Place the milk and butter in a small saucepan and heat over low heat just until the butter melts, this can also be done in the microwave, just don't overheat. Remove from the stovetop and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the water. With the dough hook attached to your mixer, stir in the milk and butter mixture until combined. Add the basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, garlic powder and the eggs – one at a time – beating well after each addition. The dough will be very sticky! Add the remaining ¾ cup flour gradually, beating for another 2 to 3 minutes until the dough comes together again. Brush a large bowl with oil and place in the dough. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled - 1 to 2 hours.

    As the dough rises, prepare the filling in the next step and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

    Combine butter, garlic, herbs, parmesan and salt in small bowl until spreadable. Set aside.

    Punch down the dough to release the air and then place on a lightly floured work surface. Divide it into 12 equal pieces, each about ¼ cup of dough. Using lightly floured hands, flatten each into a circle that’s about 4 inches in diameter. The circle doesn’t have to be perfectly round. Spread 1-2 teaspoons of filling mixture onto each. Fold circles in half and line in prepared baking pan, round side up. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let rise until dough does not spring back when pressed with a finger, 30-45 minutes.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake loaf until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before turning out of pan; serve. 

    Optional: Melt butter and add in crushed garlic. Pour over baked bread.

      Can I make this in a bread machine?

        Hi there, I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure but if it's fine to use butter in the machine, it should work. Let me know if you test it out!

      That looks yummy.
      I do not have a stand mixer. Can I use mt hand held mixer instead? Or, may this cause problems?

        Hi Julie,
        Thank you! I wouldn't use a hand mixer but you can use your hands to knead it until it's fully incorpated and a smooth dough. It'll just a take little longer to come together but you'll get the same results. Enjoy!

      I’m confused. One pan or two? At top it says yields one loaf but the instructions near the end of the recipe says put it in PANS.

      Hi,

      Can’t wait to make this! But this is probably a dumb question and I am a beginner at baking… but do we activate the yeast before we place it in with the flour and sugar in step one? Thanks!

        Hi Tanya,

        Thanks for stopping by. That's actually a great question. No need to activate the yeast, just mix it straight in.

        Enjoy!

      Found this on Instagram and knew I had to convince my partner to make it immediately. I'm so glad I did because he did an amazing job and this was incredibly delicious. We ate it with cheesy pesto pasta and were in complete carb bliss. Thanks for the recipe!
