French Herb Bread

Ingredients

  • tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 2 tablespoons margarine

Preparation

In a large bowl combine the yeast, sugar, 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1 1/2 cups of the flour.

In a sauce pan combine the milk, water and 1/4 cup of the butter or margarine until 110 degrees F (38 degrees C). Add milk mixture and vinegar to the flour mixture and blend at low speed of the mixer until moistened. Beat at medium speed for 3 minutes.

Stir in 1 1/2 cups additional flour to form a sticky dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead adding 1/2 to 1 cup more of flour until dough is smooth and pliable. Place dough in a greased bowl and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume.

Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle shape about 16×8 inches.

In a saucepan heat the onion, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, parsley and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine until butter or margarine is melted. Spread over the dough rectangle and starting from the 16 inch side roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll.

Place the bread seam side down onto a greased cookie sheet and let rise until doubled in sized.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

Bake bread until golden brown about 20 to 30 minutes. Brush hot bread with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
