1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 c. warm water
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 to 3 c. all-purpose or bread flour
1/4 c. butter
1 lg. clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 tsp. dried parsley leaves
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper

In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar. Stir to dissolve. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes or until yeast bubbles. Add salt. Slowly stir in flour. After half the flour is added, beat until very smooth and satiny. (You can do this with electric mixer, if desired.) Then stir in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Knead about 5 minutes until smooth and satiny. Place dough into clean bowl that has been greased. Turn dough over. Cover and let rise about 1 hour or until doubled.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, salt and black pepper. Turn risen dough out onto counter. Cut into walnut-sized pieces. Dip into butter mixture. Place into buttered 10-inch 1 1/2 quart ring mold, arranging dough to make an even layer. Let rise about 1 h our until doubled. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden.
