3tablespoons herbs very fine chopped like fresh basil / rosemary and thyme
Instructions
Bread
Fill your bread baking machine following the instructions of the manufacturer. In my case that's: first the buttermilk and melted butter. That topped with flour and the rest of the ingredients are on top of that. I choose the dough option which means the dough will be kneaded and got it's first rise.
Afterwards put the dough on a floured surface and roll out until it's 45 x 30 cm.
Cut with a pizza roller the dough in 24 almost equal parts.
Filled bread
Mix in a bowl the cream cheese with the mozzarella and garlic.
Take a piece of dough and lay one teaspoon of cheese mixture on top.
Fold the dough tidy (especially the sides) and then roll it into a ball.
Repeat that for all 24 dough pieces and arrange them so they look like a big christmastree or any form you like.
Put a moist towel on top of them and then a plastic foil and let it rise for 1 hour at a warm place.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Bake the bread for 17 minutes in the oven.
Melt the herb butter.
When they come out of the oven, immediately brush them with the butter and sprinkle with the fresh herbs.
