Equipment

  • Rolling Board & Pin
  • Heavy Flat Bottom Kadai
  • Stand
  • Butter Paper
  • Pizza Tray
  • Regular Salt

Ingredients

For Garlic Cheese Bread Dough:

  • 1 cup Plain Flour (Maida/All Purpose Flour)
  • 1/4 cup Warm Milk/Warm Water
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Yeast
  • 3/4 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chilli Flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Oil
  • A pinch Salt
  • Water for kneading (If required)

For Stuffing:

  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Paste
  • 2 tablespoon Coriander Leaves
  • 1/4 cup Grated Mozzarella/Pizza Cheese (Or any type of cheese)
  • 2 teaspoon Chilli Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Mixed Herbs
  • 3 tablespoon Plain Flour (Maida) (For Dusting)

Instructions

Preparation of Maida Dough:

  • For preparing Garlic Cheese Bread first we need to activate the Yeast. Take Warm Water in a small cup. Water should not be hot or else the yeast may not get activated and might die.
  • To warm water, add 1 teaspoon Sugar. Stir to dissolve the Sugar. You can replace water with milk to dissolve the yeast.
  • Next add the Yeast and stir it. Cover the cup and allow it to rest for about 10-15 minutes.
  • After 10-15 minutes, the yeast bubbles up and gets activated. Froths will be formed which will indicate that the yeast has been activated. Keep it aside. If froths are not formed then do not use it. Try with different brand of yeast.
  • Now take All Purpose Flour (Maida) in a large bowl.
  • To that add Oregano, Chilli Flakes, Mixed Herbs, Garlic Powder and Salt. Mix all the ingredients. These herbs make the Cheese Bread tastier.
  • Next add the activated yeast to the Maida mixture. With the help of your hand mix it to prepare the dough. Knead it for about 12-15 minutes.
  • While preparing the dough you should remember that it should be sticky. It helps in making the bread soft. If required add slight amount of water to the dough.
  • After kneading the dough for about 12-15 minutes, you will see that the dough starts coming together. However it will remain sticky. To that add 1/2 teaspoon Oil and apply over the dough so that it does not stick to the bowl.
  • Now cover the dough for about 1½ to 2 hour by keeping at warm place. At this moment the dough will expand to almost double in size.

Stuffing of Garlic Cheese Bread:

  • Now let’s first prepare the Garlic Butter. Take the Butter in a bowl.
  • To that add Garlic Paste and Chopped Coriander Leaves. Mix all the ingredients. Keep it aside.
  • Now remove the cover from the dough. You will see that the dough has doubled in its size.
  • With the help of your fist, knead the dough again to remove the excess air filled in the dough. Roll the dough into a ball shape.
  • Sprinkle small amount of Maida on a flat surface or in the rolling board. Place the dough over it.
  • With the help of rolling pin and hand, roll the dough to flatten it to form a circle.
  • Next take the Garlic Butter and spread it evenly over the bread properly with the help of a brush. The quantity should be appropriate as it adds flavour to Garlic Bread.
  • Sprinkle some amount of Oregano, Chilli Flakes and Mixed Herbs one by one over the bread.
  • Next take Grated Mozzarella Cheese or Pizza Cheese and spread generous amount of it over half the bread leaving the outer area slightly.
  • Again sprinkle Oregano, Chilli Flakes and Mixed Herbs over the cheese.
  • Fold the bread from one side and close the edges by pressing it slightly with your fingers.
  • Now take the pizza tray and place a butter paper over it. Butter Paper helps in preventing the butter to burn out.
  • With the help of your hand place the stuffed Garlic Bread gently over the pizza tray. Then apply Garlic Butter over the stuffed bread.
  • Sprinkle again some Oregano, Chilli Flakes and Mixed Herbs over the applied butter.
  • With the help of knife, make cut marks over the bread vertically. Do not cut it completely. Now we will bake it to make the Garlic Cheese Bread.

Preparation of Garlic Cheese Bread:

  • Take the heavy base kadai and add Regular Salt to it. Place the stand over the salt.
  • Cover and preheat the kadai over medium heat for about 15 minutes. This is a setup for baking the Garlic Bread. You can bake it in microwave oven also.
  • Once the kadai heats up, open the lid and place the tray with Garlic Bread over the stand.
  • Cover the kadai and under medium heat bake the Garlic Bread for about 15 minutes. If you are baking the Garlic Bread in microwave oven, then bake it at 180 degree Celsius for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes open the lid and take out the tray. Apply some more butter over it. It helps in keeping the bread soft.
  • Soft and Cheesy Garlic Cheese Bread is ready to serve. Cut the bread at the marked area and serve it in slices. Serve it hot with Tomato Ketchup or Mayonnaise.

Notes

  1. If you do not have Garlic Powder, you can replace it with Finely Chopped Garlic Cloves or Garlic paste.
  2. To activate the yeast, you can use either of warm milk or warm water. Sugar is added to water which acts as a catalyst. It helps in starting the fermentation of yeast
  3. Froths should be formed when the yeast is mixed in water and kept idle for few minutes. If froths are not formed then do not use the yeast.
  4. The dough should be allowed to rest for about 2 hours so that it gets doubled in size. It will help in preparing soft bread.
  5. The Maida dough should be kneaded properly or else the Garlic Cheese Bread may turn hard.
  6. You can vary the quantity of seasoning as per your choice. Adding more seasoning will add more flavour to it. You can also use Peri Peri Masala to make it more tasty and flavourful.
  7. To make cheesy Garlic Bread use more Pizza Cheese while stuffing. Also use appropriate amount of seasoning.
  8. For stuffing we have used only cheese. You can also add veggies such as Capsicum, Sweet Corns, Jalapeno, French Beans, etc. to prepare Stuffed Garlic Bread. You can select veggies as per your choice.
  9. If you are using microwave oven to bake the bread, then bake for 15 minutes at 180 degree Celsius.
  10. While baking remember not to over bake or else the Garlic Bread will become crispy. It will lose the softness of the bread.
