Homemade Garlic Bread

Homemade garlic bread is a delicious dish that combines garlic and butter spread on toasted bread and then baked. Its unique flavor and creamy taste make it a must-have on many family dinner tables.

👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

• 300g high-gluten flour

• 5g yeast

• 5g salt

• 50g egg

• 100g milk

• 35g sugar

• 35g vegetable oil

• 100g butter

• 5 cloves of garlic

• A suitable amount of parsley leaves (optional)

• Salt and sugar for seasoning

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Put high-gluten flour, yeast, salt, egg, milk, sugar, and vegetable oil in a bowl and knead into a smooth dough. It doesn't need to be kneaded to a film, as garlic bread is usually eaten hot and the cold texture is not considered.

2. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes, then roll it into a rectangle, roll it up, and pinch the seam tightly. Slightly roll it longer.

3. Place the dough in a closed environment (such as an oven) to rise until doubled in size. Room temperature fermentation is sufficient in summer, while in winter, you can place a bowl of hot water under the baking tray.

4. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Once the dough has risen, bake it in the oven for about 20 minutes. Remove and let it cool.

5. Make the garlic butter: Finely chop the garlic and put it in a bowl. Heat the butter in a small pot until melted, then pour it into the garlic bowl. Add parsley leaves (if using), vegetable oil, a suitable amount of salt and sugar, and mix well.

6. Slice the baked bread to your preferred thickness, preferably about the width of a finger. Spread the garlic butter evenly on both sides of the bread, then wrap it in aluminum foil.

7. Place the wrapped bread in the oven and bake at 180°C for about 15 minutes. If you prefer a crispy texture, open the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

👉🏻✨TIPS

• Be careful not to burn the butter when melting it to avoid bitterness.

• The taste and flavor of the bread can be adjusted according to personal preference, such as adding white sesame seeds or other spices.

👉🏻✨BENEFITS

• Homemade garlic bread not only provides a delicious taste but also enhances interaction and cooperation among family members. During the preparation process, you can learn baking skills, understand the characteristics of ingredients, and cultivate patience and precision.

✨NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS:

• Garlic bread is rich in carbohydrates, protein, and fat, providing energy for the body. Additionally, garlic has antioxidant and antibacterial properties, which help boost immunity. Making it with organic and locally sourced ingredients can also reduce environmental pollution and additive intake, making it even healthier.
