mixing bowl. Beat well and add yeast mixture. Stir in 2 1/2 to 3 c flour by

Grease bowl. Turn dough over in bowl to grease all sides. Cover with floured
plastic wrap. Place in warm draft free spot to rise until double. Punch dough
down. Cover dough and allow to rest 10 min. On floured board, roll dough out
to 1/2 to 2/3" thickness. With sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into
1 1/2 to 2" uneven squares. Dip in melted butter. Roll in fresh chopped
herb until lightly coated---according to your own taste. Toss into greased
monkey bread pot or a solid bottom tube pan.
Uneven, haphazzard arrangement of dough squares makes for a more interesting
monkey bread design. Drizzle leftover melted butter over top.
Cover and allow to rise until double. Very lightly sprinkle with leftover
herbs. Bake at 350 for 35-40 min. til toothpick inserted into center comes out
clean when done. Sounds hollow when tapped. Serve warm. Carefully remove to
