Instructions: Combine yeast and warm water in large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, butter and salt. Heat until butter melts.

Stir into yeast mixture. Add 1 cup of the flour. Beat until dough is elastic. Gradually stir in about 2 1/2 cups more flour or until a stiff dough is formed. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 15 minutes.

Place in greased bowl, turning once. Cover and let rise 1 hour in warm place until doubled. Punch down. Divide dough in half. Cut 1 half into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Dip each ball into melted butter.

Place balls side by side in 2 rows in greased 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.

Sprinkle with herbs. Repeat with remaining dough in another loaf pan. Cover and let rise in warm place 45 minutes longer. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
