• dill, parsley, cilantro (optional) - a large bunch;
• salt - a pinch;
• lemon juice - 1-2 tsp.

Cooking

1. Butter for spreading should be soft, take it out of the refrigerator two to three hours before cooking. Let's start preparing the dough. Milk and water should be warm t - 32-37⁰С. The flour is sifted through a sieve.

2. Pour water and milk into a bowl, if they are not warm enough, the products should be heated to the desired temperature. We send them sugar, two or three tablespoons of flour (out of the total), yeast. Mix.

3. For fifteen to twenty minutes, put the bowl in a warm place to activate the yeast.

4. After a while, a noticeable foam cap appeared in the bowl, the yeast was activated, you can continue to work with the dough.

5. In a bowl with yeast we send vegetable oil, a third of the flour and salt. We begin to knead the dough with a whisk.

6. Add more flour and knead.

7. When it will be difficult to knead the dough with a whisk, go to the table. Dust the work surface with flour.

8. Knead the dough for seven to ten minutes. Flour can go a little more or a little less, depending on the quality of the flour. From the dough we form a bun.

9. Pour a little vegetable oil into a clean bowl. Lightly grease the inside of the bowl and the dough on all sides. Transfer the dough into a bowl.

10. We tighten the bowl with a film and send the dough to a warm place to rise. You can use the microwave or oven for this. We heat the oven to t-30⁰ C and turn it off. Then we turn on only the bulb inside, it will maintain the temperature in the oven. Leave the bowl with the dough in the oven for one hour.

11. After forty-five minutes, you can cook garlic-butter spread. By this time, the oil has already become soft. Finely chop the greens of garlic, dill, parsley and cilantro.

12. Add lemon juice, salt, mix until smooth.

13. In a warm oven, the dough came up perfectly, it became soft and airy.

14. In order not to clog the dough with excess flour, grease the working surface with vegetable oil. Remove the dough from the bowl and stretch it into an even layer with just your hands.

15. Next, roll out the dough into a rectangle using a rolling pin. The thickness of the dough should be five to seven millimeters.

16. Using a silicone spatula or just by hand, distribute the garlic-oil spread over the entire surface of the dough.

17. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips, five to seven millimeters wide.

18. We will bake bread on parchment paper and a baking sheet. Lightly cover the paper with vegetable oil. You can also bake bread in a detachable biscuit mold.

19. Roll up a roll from the first strip of dough (edge), this will be the middle of the bread. Got a rose.

20. We transfer the "rose" to the middle of the parchment. Next, we will form bread from it.

21. Take the next strip of dough and transfer to a baking sheet. We wrap the "rose" with it.

22. So we do with each subsequent strip of dough. We get bread in the form of a snail. It is not necessary to press the strips tightly against each other, as the dough will still fit.

23. For ten minutes, cover the future bread with a bowl and give time to rest. At this time, turn on the oven to warm up to t-180⁰ C.

24. We send the bread to the oven, bake for forty - forty-five minutes, until golden brown. Readiness is checked with a skewer.

25. We dilute one teaspoon of vegetable oil, with the same amount of water (1: 1), mix. We cover the surface of the bread with this solution, so it will not stale.

26. We cover the bread with a clean towel, give it time to rest and cool.
