Garlic bread made from yeast dough belongs to Italian cuisine. It is usually prepared in the form of a spiral. A distinctive feature of garlic bread is the dough with the addition of corn flour. Thanks to it, baked goods acquire a crispy crust. In addition, corn flour greatly simplifies kneading the dough, making it plastic and pliable. Garlic bread can be taken with you on a picnic, served for lunch with borscht, or for breakfast with sausage and cheese.
Ingredients
- dry yeast – 10 g
- corn flour – 150 g
- wheat flour – 350 g
- water – 250 ml
- granulated sugar – 1 tbsp. l.
- salt – 1 tsp.
- garlic – 1 head
- ghee - 2 tbsp. l.
How to bake garlic bread
1. Dry yeast along with granulated sugar must be dissolved in half the amount of water. The water for the dough, like all other products and even dishes, should be warm. The temperature at which the action of yeast is best manifested ranges from 28 to 34 degrees.
2. In a warm place, after 10 minutes, yeast forms a dense foam on the surface of the water.
3. By this time, you need to sow and mix corn and wheat flour. Salt should be added to them. The dry ingredients need to be mixed so that they are evenly distributed in the total mass.
4. Pour water with yeast and the rest of the water into the flour.
5. You need to knead a soft, elastic dough that does not stick to your hands.
6. Cover it with a towel or cling film and leave it warm for 1 hour. The dough should at least double in volume. To speed up the process, the container with the dough can be placed in a warm oven or in a large bowl of water heated to 36 degrees. In this case, the fermentation process will accelerate by 1.5-2 times.
7. The risen dough must be divided into 2 parts and kneaded on a table greased with vegetable oil. Then you need to roll it into flat cakes 5 mm thick.
8. Each flatbread should be cut into strips 5 cm wide. To prevent the knife from sticking and crushing the dough, its tip can be lubricated with vegetable oil. Then cover the strips with a towel and leave to proof for 15 minutes.
9. Meanwhile, you need to prepare the garlic filling. Young garlic can be used with its white, soft skin. Dry slices should be peeled. Garlic should be passed through a press or crushed with a small amount of salt in a mortar. Then it must be combined with softened ghee.
10. Instead of ghee, you can use olive or sunflower oil for the filling. In addition, you can add herbs, black pepper, ground paprika or dried tomatoes to taste. The filling should be mixed well.
11. Then it must be carefully applied to the strips without kneading the dough.

Step 3: Cook the garlic bread in the microwave.
Bread coated with butter and garlic should be baked at maximum power for 10 minutes. Then remove from the microwave and serve warm, immediately after cooking.

It is known that any mashed or tastes much better with garlic bread. It will also go well with other dishes. The components that determine its taste: butter and garlic go well together. But you need to keep in mind that garlic bread in the oven is prepared in two different ways. One of them is home baking, discussed above, and the other is using a ready-made bakery product.
Garlic bread is prepared much faster from a ready-made loaf purchased in a store or bakery. We offer a recipe with photos of dishes from various bakery products.
It is usually recommended to use a French baguette; it can be easily cut lengthwise (not all the way). We generously cover the resulting halves with the garlic butter and herbs we already know. Try to vary the greens to your taste, you can also add dried ones.
For a whole baguette or a large sliced loaf you will need at least 200g of butter.
Place both halves in a hot oven for 5 minutes. Ready! We get garlic bread with cheese.
From a loaf with cheese
If you get a large, plump loaf, then it is better to cut it not lengthwise, but diagonally or across it. Moreover, do not cut all the way, so that the loaf retains its shape. Add grated cheese, Parmesan or other hard cheese to the butter. Push the cheese and garlic filling into each cut using a knife. We wrap the loaf tightly in a sheet of foil, twist the ends, and only after that place it on a baking sheet in a preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes, turn over the foil bag and keep in the oven for 10 minutes again. We get garlic bread with cheese. Now you can unroll the foil and finally cut the slices.
With olive oil
Instead of butter, you can use cold-pressed olive oil. Dilute the garlic, fresh and juicy herbs passed through a press with oil and let stand for a while. Cut the loaf into slices so that it does not fall apart. Take a pastry brush and brush the surface of the slices with oil. Sprinkle garlic powder on top. Wrap in foil and place in the oven for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.
In Spanish
Garlic bread in Spanish is made like this: sliced pieces of bread (not too thin) are fried in olive oil on both sides. A clove of garlic is cut lengthwise and rubbed onto the toasted surface of the bun. Then the same operation is performed with a juicy tomato cut in half. Finally, brush with oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. This bread is served with any soup.
