Ingredients

• 1 cup milk, lukewarm
• 2 teaspoons yeast
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons spices, such as oregano, parsley, garlic, pepper, basil, sage, etc.

Directions

1. Combine milk and yeast, and let sit until foamy.

2. Stir in butter, sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and most of the flour.

3. Knead in the rest of the flour and continue kneading until smooth and supple (about 10 minutes).

4. Let dough rest and rise until double (about 2 hours).

5. Roll dough to 1/2" thick. Cut dough into 3" circles.

6. Combine 1/2 cup butter and spices. Take each circle and spread butter on one side; fold in half and place curved sides up in a greased loaf pan. Repeat with other circles. You may have leftover butter.

7. Take the scraps and line them up on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle over leftover butter on top of them.

8. Cover loaf pans (should be one or two, depending on size of circles and pans) and cookie sheet. Let rise 45 minutes.

9. Bake at 350 degrees until nicely browned. Serve while warm.
