Quick breads or yeast breads need to always have the ingredients measured precisely. Use a knife to level the flour, salt or baking powder since baking is relying on the chemistry. When you have an ingredient 'heaping' you have changed the chemistry!

Herb Bread (or Garlic Breadsticks)
This Herb Bread recipe makes 6 small loaves. Herb Bread goes so well with Spinach Dip.
½ cup milk
3 tbls shortening or butter
3 tbls sugar
2 tsp salt
1 pkg (1 tbls) dry yeast
1½ cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
5½ to 6½ cups flour
1 cup chopped chives
1 cup chopped parsley
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbls melted butter
Heat the milk to scald; which is just before it boils with small bubbles around the edge. Stir in the 3 tbls butter, sugar and salt and set aside to cool to lukewarm.
Sprinkle yeast on warm water to dissolve, but check temperature with a thermometer first. Combine the milk mixture and 3 cups of flour to the yeast and beat until smooth. Mix in more flour gradually to get a stiff dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured area. Knead the dough till smooth and elastic about 8 to 10 minutes. Put in greased bowl and turn the dough over to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm area about an hour.
Mix chives and parsley in small bowl. Punch down the dough and divide into 6 pieces, roll one out to a 12x8 rectangle. Mix garlic and melted butter, brush on rectangle and sprinkle with herbs. Roll up tightly and pinch seams. Put on greased baking sheet and continue with remaining dough. Let rise about an hour. Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes.
Or make part of a batch into ropes of dough 6’’ long cigar sized and brush with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese for bread sticks.
