Garlic Bubble Bread

This is the funnest bread ever, and so yummy! It's just like garlic bread in flavor, only it breaks apart in little "bubbles". So much fun for the kids.

Garlic Bubble Bread

1 pkg (or a scant T ) yeast

2 T warm water

1 c warm milk

1 T sugar

2 tsp butter or margarine

1 tsp salt

3 to 3 1/2 c flour (I used 1/2 whole wheat, 1/2 white - next time I'll try all ww)

1/4 c butter or margarine, melted

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, 2 tsp butter, salt and 1 cup of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half. Divide each portion into 12 pieces. In a shallow bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder & Italian seasoning. Shape each piece of dough into a ball and dip in the butter mixture. Place in a greased 9x5x3" loaf pan. Pour any remaining garlic butter over the top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 min.

Bake at 375° F for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan.
