Combine heated milk and butter and mix in ¼ cup sugar – make sure sugar is dissolved (set aside)
Combine:
1 Tbs. yeast
1 Tbs. sugar
¾ cup warm water
Let stand for 10 minutes (until foamy)
Pour yeast mixture into milk mixture and blend.
Add:
1 ½ cups flour
1 egg
Continue adding 2-4 cups (more if needed) flour until dough forms.
Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

Separate dough in 3 sections and then each section into 3 more.
Melt 1 cube butter add 1 Tbs. garlic salt and 2 Tbs. parmesan cheese.
Braid dough and brush on butter mixture (you might not use all the mixture just cover the bread and throw the rest out).

Becca, made this for a family get together. I have made and loved it since. Although if you have a bosch you just need to need it dough for 10 min. then divide into loves let rise and bake. No nead to let it rise twice.
