Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast (Platinum Yeast from Red Star recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for garlic herb butter)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (for garlic herb butter)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (for garlic herb butter)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add melted butter, salt, egg, flour, dried rosemary, and garlic powder to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
  6. Flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle (no need to be perfect).
  7. Mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh rosemary to make garlic herb butter.
  8. Spread garlic herb butter on each dough circle, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Fold each circle in half and arrange upright in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan, packing them close together.
  10. Cover the pan and let the dough rise again for about 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before pulling apart and serving.

Notes

Using Platinum Yeast from Red Star ensures a strong rise and excellent texture. The bread can be made a day ahead and reheated gently. For best flavor, use fresh rosemary and freshly minced garlic in the herb butter.
