GARLIC BUBBLE LOAF

"An easy one-rise garlic bread in a buttery pull-apart bubble loaf. Shape and bake in 1 1/2 hours."

2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour, divided use
1 pkg. Red Star Instant Blend Dry Yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons shortening
1 egg
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon sesame seed

In large mixer bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well.

In saucepan heat milk, water and shortening until warm (shortening does not need to melt); add to flour mixture. Add egg. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Knead on floured surface 25 to 30 strokes. Divide dough into 12 parts; shape into balls.

Combine melted butter, paprika and garlic powder; mix well. Dip balls into butter mixture; place in greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, using 6 balls on each layer. Sprinkle with sesame seed. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled, about 45 minutes.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pan; serve warm.
