- Knock the dough down and divide into 24 equal pieces. Pat each piece flat, by hand, and shape each roughly into a 9 cm x 12 cm rectangle.
- Brush the rectangles with the herb and garlic butter. Fold the dough in half, but don’t press down hard.
- Place a greased 1.5 litre bread pan upright on its short side. Start placing the folded pieces of dough into the pan the rest of the herb and garlic butter over the dough pieces, ensuring that the sides are covered with butter.
