To make garlic butter, combine together butter, garlic and parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt. Set aside.

Place flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.

Add melted butter and water. Knead to form a soft dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 and ½ to 2 hours or until doubled.

Punch dough down.

Turn onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes or until smooth and elastic.

Roll out dough into a large rectangle.

Spread with garlic butter all the way to the edges.

Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into even rectangles.

Stack the rectangles on top of each other.

Place them in a greased loaf pan.

Cover and let rise for another 45 minutes. 

Meanwhile preheat oven to 200 C / 400 F. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil and bake.

Serve warm.
