Quick and Easy Garlic Bread

I originally made this to go with Ham and Onion Alfredo, but now that I think about it, this recipe could be adapted to so many more uses. I think it would lend itself quite well to a cinnamon/brown sugar/honey mix as as well. I'll have to give that a try in the next few days.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 c. self-rising flour

2 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. garlic powder (divided)

1/2 tsp. dried basil (divided)

1/2 tsp. dried oregano (divided)

1/8 tsp. salt

2/3 c. milk

3 tbsp. butter or margarine (melted)

Parmesan cheese (optional)

Non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450F.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and all but a pinch or two of basil, oregano and garlic. Mix thoroughly. Gradually add in milk, it may take more or less than what is listed. The dough should be pliable, but not too sticky. Lightly flour worksurface, turn dough out, knead and roll out. Dough can be cut into biscuits/sticks/whatever form desired, or twisted into sticks/small loaf. Place bread on baking sheet coated in non-stick spray. Add remaining herbs/seasonings to melted butter. Brush butter onto bread, making sure to coat well. Sprinkle tops with parmesan cheese if desired. 

Bake for 12 minutes, then turn on broiler for 1-2 minutes, keeping a careful watch that tops do not burn.
