Instructions
- Activate the yeast: Combine the warmed milk, instant yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.

- First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
- Prepare the topping: Mix softened butter, herbs, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl.
- Shape the dough: Divide into 12 pieces, flatten each, and spread with the butter mixture.
- Put them in the pan: Fold pieces and place in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350℉ and bake for about 30 minutes, then cover with foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
