Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
¼ cup water
¼ cup margarine
½ cup minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon minced parsley
2 tablespoons margarine

Steps:

  • 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 16x8 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.
