Ingredients
Dough:
1 cup whole milk, warmed to about 80 degrees F
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups bread flour (see Cook's Note), plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 tablespoon milk powder
Herbed Butter:
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 clove garlic, grated
Directions
Special equipment:
a 2-pound capacity horizontal bread machine- For the dough: Add the dough ingredients to the bread pan of a 2-pound capacity bread machine in the following order: milk, butter, salt, sugar, bread flour, yeast and milk powder. Program the machine for sweet bread (a 1 1/2-pound loaf) and start the cycle (see Cook's Note).
- At the start of rise 3 (about 1 1/2 hours after starting), pause the cycle (do not cancel the cycle). Remove the bread pan from the machine and transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Grease the bread pan with butter, then set the pan aside.
- For the herbed butter: Melt 1 stick (8 tablespoons) of the butter in a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, basil and garlic.
- Roll the dough into a 12-inch square about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 16 equal squares. Dip each in the butter mixture, fold in half and add them to the loaf pan. (Dipping each individually in the butter mixture gives the rolls flavor and helps them separate easily.) You should have 2 stacked rows of 8 rolls each.
- Return the bread pan to the machine and resume the sweet bread cycle. Let the rolls finish proofing and then bake, about 2 hours.
- After the bake cycle is complete, carefully remove the hot pan using the handle and a towel. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Spread the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over the rolls and serve immediately.
Cook’s Note
When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.) Settings, cycles and timing may vary on your bread machine depending on the model. Refer to the manufacturer's guide and pay attention to visual cues for proofing. We tested this recipe using a Breville Custom Loaf Bread Machine, Model #BBM800XL.
