Ingredients

Scale

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
4 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for brushing)

Instructions

Prepare the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle active dry yeast on top and let it sit for about five minutes until frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs.
Combine Wet Ingredients: Once the yeast is frothy, pour it into the bowl with dry ingredients along with melted butter. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about five minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm spot for about one hour or until doubled in size.
Shape and Bake: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal pieces; roll each into balls. Place on a greased baking sheet close together but not touching. Let them rise again for about thirty minutes before baking at 375°F (190°C) for around twenty minutes until golden brown. Brush immediately with melted butter after removing from the oven.
