  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon instant or active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for dough)

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, dry milk, salt, sugar, and yeast. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

  6. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
  7. Brush butter mixture over the risen dough.
