Garlic Pull-Apart Bread

  • 2

Ingredients

  • 6-7 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 T sugar
  • 2 T garlic salt
  • 2 pkg active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter

Preparation

Step 1

Place 5 cups flour, sugar, 1 T garlic salt, and yeast in bowl. Attach bowl and dough hook. Turn to speed 2 and mix 15 seconds. Combine water, milk, and 1/4 cup butter in saucepan. Heat until liquids are warm. Turn to speed 2 and gradually add warm liquids to flour mixture, about 30 seconds. Mix 1 minute longer. Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead for 2 minutes longer.

Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover, let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down and divide in half. Roll one half to a 12x8x 1/4" rectangle. Melt remaining butter and mix with remaining garlic salt. Brush dough with mixture. Cut dough into 4 equal strips 8 inches long. Stack strips and cut into 4 equal strips 2 inches wide. Place pieces on edge in a greased loaf pan so layers form one row down the length of the pan. Repeat for the remaining dough. Cover, let rise, until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 400 for 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.
