Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 35 min.
Yield: 1 loaf (1-1/2 pounds - 16 slices).

I adapted an old sour cream bread recipe for this deliciously different pull-apart loaf that smells heavenly while baking. It has a light crust, tender interior and lots of herb and butter flavor. We think it's wonderful with a hot bowl of potato soup. -Katie Crill, Priest River, Idaho

Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup water (70° to 80°)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 3 cups bread flour
• 2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
•
• GARLIC HERB BUTTER:
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon each dried oregano, thyme and rosemary, crushed

Directions:
1. In bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

2. When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Divide dough into 36 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. In a shallow bowl, combine butter, garlic and herbs. Dip each ball in mixture; place in an ungreased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

3. Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Editor's Note: We recommend you do not use a bread machine's time-delay feature for this recipe.
