Looking for something savory to add to your brunch spread? Or maybe a 
little something extra to accompany dinner?

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 
combine 1 1/4 cups (156 grams) flour, sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons (6.75 
grams) salt, yeast, and nutmeg; beat at low speed until combined.

In a medium saucepan, cook milk and softened butter over medium heat 
until butter is melted and an instant-read thermometer registers 120F 
(49C) to 130F (54C). Add warm milk mixture to flour mixture; beat at 
medium speed for 2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add 
egg; beat at medium-high speed for 2 minutes. With mixer on low 
speed, gradually add 2 cups (250 grams) flour, beating until combined.

Switch to the dough hook attachment. Beat at medium-low speed until a 
soft, somewhat tacky dough forms, 6 to 8 minutes, stopping to scrape 
sides of bowl and dough hook; add up to remaining 1/4 cup (31 grams) 
flour, 1 tablespoon (8 grams) at a time, if dough is too sticky. 
(Dough should pass the windowpane test; see Note.)

Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning 
to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place 
(75F/24C) until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.

In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, chives, tarragon, 
parsley, garlic powder, red pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).

Punch down dough; let stand for 5 minutes. On a clean surface, divide 
dough into 36 portions (about 24 grams each); gently shape each 
portion into a ball, pinching closed any seams if needed. (Keep dough 
portions covered with a sheet of plastic wrap while working.)

Spray a 15-cup Nordic Ware Bundt Pan with baking spray with flour.

Dip dough balls in butter mixture, turning until well coated; arrange 
evenly in prepared pan, pressing dough balls gently into each other 
and grooves of pan. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place 
(75F/24C) until doubled in size and dough holds an indentation when 
pressed, 25 to 35 minutes. Reserve remaining butter mixture.

Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted near 
center registers at least 190F (88C), 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in 
pan for 5 minutes; invert onto a serving plate.

Reheat reserved butter mixture, if necessary; brush all over warm 
bread. Sprinkle with Parmesan; serve immediately.

Notes: Test the dough for proper gluten development using the 
windowpane test. Pinch off (don't tear) a small piece of dough. 
Slowly pull the dough out from the center. If the dough is ready, you 
will be able to stretch it until it's thin and translucent like a 
windowpane. If the dough tears, it's not quite ready. Beat for 1 
minute, and test again.
