Pull Apart Garlic Bread Loaf 蒜蓉面包

Who doesn’t like garlic bread? Really, who doesn’t?

Garlic bread is like one of those recipes that you can’t really mess up! No matter what, when you combine bread, garlic and butter…people are going to flock to it.

I love garlic bread as much as the next person, but I do shy away from those mass produced ones that make use of mediocre baguettes with a smear of garlic-y butter in-between. They are ok in a pinch, but if you are really after a superb made-from-scratch bread recipe that integrates completely with garlic and butter, then look no further!

This recipe is the perfect marriage between soft, tender brioche and sharp, fragrant garlic butter. Great for garlic lovers and non alike because somehow, the garlic flavour is pronounced but not evasive. It really is a crowd pleaser.

But Do I need to use stand mixer?

The answer here is of course, no. As with any of my bread recipes, you can knead by hand. Just make sure to knead thoroughly in order to develop the gluten networks. Sometimes I prefer to do it by hand because to me it's therapeutic. But if you do have a stand mixer, use it! it’ll save you a ton of time and elbow grease.

Flavourings are completely customizable

Other than the garlic, you can include which ever herbs and spices that you like. Don’t like parsley? Use oregano. Sprinkle some mozzarella before rolling and make it into cheesy pull part garlic bread! Make it into your own and your family will be asking for it again and again, I promise.

You Will Need

Bread

1 cup Milk240ml

2 ½ cups All purpose flour380g

1 Large egg~50g

3 tbsp Sugar38g

2 tsp Active dry yeast6g

½ tsp Salt

2 tbsp Soften butter30g

Filling

¼ cup Soften butter~100g

1 ½ tbsp Minced garlic

2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp Sugar

½ tsp Salt

Instructions

Heat up milk and dissolve yeast into the lukewarm milk.

Put flour, sugar, salt, egg and yeasty milk into a mixing bowl and mix together to combine.

Either in a stand mixer or by hand, knead until everything is well combine. Then add in the soften butter and knead again to incorporate into the dough. Once the butter has been incorporated, knead the dough well for around 10min. Either by hand or on speed 2 in a stand mixer.

Then pull the now soft, stretchy and sticky dough into a smooth ball, smear it about in a bit of oil and cover to rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour or until it's doubled in size.

Make the filling by mixing all the filling ingredients together. Leave it out at room temperature so it'll be easier to spread.

Once the dough has risen, punch the air out and roll it out into a rectangle of approximately 1/2 cm thick. The width is dependent on the size of your loaf pan.

Next, spread the filling evenly all over the dough. Carefully roll the dough into a log. Then cut the cut into even pieces of approximately 1cm. Try to keep the pieces in place as much as possible.

Then, taking a few pieces at a time, transfer them into the loaf pan. Tuck in all the pieces snugly into the loaf pan. Leave it to rise again for 45min.

When it has risen again, brush the top with egg wash and put it into a preheated oven at 180C/350F for 25-30min.

Once it's finished baking, remove from loaf pan and cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
