Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup warm whole milk

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 ½ – 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter (plus more for serving)
  • 1–2 cloves garlic (grated)
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup fresh basil (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage (chopped)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and honey; let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add eggs, flour, and salt to the mixture. Stir until combined. Knead in butter until smooth.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled.
  4. Prepare herb butter by mixing remaining butter with garlic, parmesan, basil, thyme, and sage.
  5. Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle and spread herb butter evenly over it.
  6. Roll tightly into a log shape; slice lengthwise while keeping one end intact. Twist halves together and coil into an 'S' shape on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
