BUBBLE LOAF - SAVORY

Steps:

• In large bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast, stir until blended.
• In a small sauce pan heat milk and oil until very warm, 120°F to 130°F Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture, stir until moist and beat for 3 minutes on medium speed.
• By hand stir in additional 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of flour until dough pulls cleanly away from sides of bowl.
• On a floured surface knead in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of flour until dough is smooth and elastic, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Place dough in greased bowl covered loosely with plastic wrap and towel, let rise in warm place (85°F) until doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles.
• Divide dough into 16 equal pieces and shape into balls.
• Dip each ball into the melted butter and place half the balls into an ungreased 12 cup bundt pan forming 1 layer.
• Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle half over the layer of balls.
• Dip and place other half of balls to form a second layer.
• Pour any remaining butter over balls and sprinkle with remaining topping.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until light and doubled in size (30 to 45 minutes).
• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Uncover dough and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
• Cool 5 minutes remove from pan.
• Prep time does not include for rising of dough.
• This bread is best served warm out of the oven, if you wanted you could also sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon or so of dried minced onion along with the topping on the FIRST layer, if there are any bread lovers with you be careful or you will know what I mean by "Pack of mad hungry dogs".
