Cheese Chilli Garlic Pull Apart Bread
If you take your breads seriously, you got to try this recipe. So gorgeous to look at and so delicious, this is a delight for bread lovers. Every word in the title makes me drool. These are all my favourite flavours to work with and eat. Those tiger stripes are formed when the cheese bakes along with the bread. I am seriously obsessed with those. And do you see the crunchy garlic granules on top.
How to make it?
- Mix 1 tsp sugar and 1.5 tsp active dry yeast in 1/4 cup lukewarm water and leave it to get activated/ get frothy for around 10 mins.
- Mix 2 cups all purpose flour with , 1/2 cup lukewarm water, 2 tbsp olive oil and the activated yeast and make a soft dough.
Knead it for atleast 12 mins or until it becomes smooth and tuck the dough. - Cover with cling film and leave it to rest for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile for the filling, in a bowl mix – 1 cup shredded mozzarella and cheddar, salt and black pepper, 2 tsp dried herbs, 4-5 minced green chillies, 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes, and 1/4 cup minced garlic. Keep it in the fridge.
- After an hour the dough doubles in size.
- Punch it gently to release air and now using a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a rectangle shape with a thickness of 4mm.
- First layer the whole bread 4 tbsp melted butter.
- Then layer it with the cheese chilli and garlic mix. Now cut them into 4 equal strips.
- Place the strips on top of each other, and again using a pizza cutter cut them into 4 equal squares. Place them in a loaf pan and cover it with a moist soft cloth for 30 mins.
- Brush a little melted butter on top and add a few garlic flakes. Sprinkle some herbs and chilli flakes too.
