Garlic Herb Bubble Loaf

We love us some bread around here! We've made a "bubble loaf" for breakfast so I thought I'd try this savory version. It was delicious! I paired it with lasagna and it was an instant success. I think this recipe would work just as well with store bought frozen bread dough.

Garlic Herb Bubble Loaf

Ingredients:

1/2 C water
1/2 C sour cream
2 T butter or margarine, softened
3 T sugar
1 1/2 t. salt
3 C bread flour
2 1/4 t. active dry yeast

Garlic Herb Butter:
1/4 C butter or margarine, melted
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 t. each dried oregano, thyme and rosemary, crushed

In bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 min of mixing; add 1 - 2 T of water or flour if needed.) When cycle is completed, divide dough into 36 pieces. Shape each into a ball. In a bowl, combine butter, garlic and herbs. Dip each ball in mixture; place in an ungreased 9 x 5 x 3 in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
