Garlic Bread Recipe

How to Make Soft, Foldable Garlic Bread Made with yeast. Use these simple bread dip, wrap and bread pizza.

Lately, I’ve been tilting this coat bread. I use them to dip them in my favorite dipping sauces, love them as folded sandwiches, and even use them as the basis for this Margherita Flatbread pizza.

The secret to these big breads is olive oil, and we infused with fresh garlic and sesame seeds. We use the same trick when making homemade garlic and herbal crepes. The infused olive oil adds a lot of flavor. We use yeast in this recipe. If you need a faster recipe without yeast, see Soybean-free bread.

Key Ingredients

  • Garlic Olive Oil: To inject as much garlic flavor into these flavors as possible, we use fresh garlic, sesame seeds and high-temperature olive oil to make flavored olive oil. Sesame seeds add nutty flavor and a little crunch.
  • flour: I use regular all-around flour in this recipe, but bread flour or “00” flour (I use it for pizza dough) also works well.
  • yeast: Use active dry yeast or instant yeast in this recipe. I call for active drying in the recipe, but you can replace instant yeast without any changes. If you don’t have yeast, make our simple bread (no yeast).
  • Sugar and salt: I like to add a little sugar or honey to start the yeast and then season the dough with salt (otherwise, the taste won’t be great).

How to make garlic bread

We will make garlic olive oil first. I added olive oil, fresh garlic and sesame seeds in a small skillet over low heat until it smelled like roasted garlic. I love the sesame seeds in this bread recipe. They added some crunch and nuts. I especially like Hummus, which contains tahini, which is made with sesame seeds.

How to make garlic bread: Infusate garlic and sesame seeds into the bread dough.

To make bread dough we need yeast, water, sugar, flour and salt. Sugar can make the yeast have a start – you only need 1/2 teaspoon. Yeast helps ferment the dough, making it so soft and foldable (same for homemade pita bread). If you don’t have any yeast you can still make big bread – we recommend you skip to this boring bread recipe.

The dough is similar to the dough in our bakery. We combine all the ingredients and knead them 10 to 15 times. That’s it, and the dough continues to be validated, which takes 1 hour at room temperature.

To make the dough the day before, stay overnight in the refrigerator. You can do the same with our simple pizza dough. The cool air in the refrigerator slows down the yeast, but after spending overnight in the refrigerator, it rises enough time to cook the bread.

To cook bread, push them out (or use the finger tips in the photo below) and cook over medium heat until puffed and cooked in the middle. Use a heavy skillet or baking dish. I use a baking tray for pictures of the bread – I love the barbecue traces!

Provide advice

  • Dipping sauce: Dip this homemade loaf in dipping sauces such as our baba ganoush (grilled eggplant dip), roasted red pepper hummus, our hummus and ground beef and mint, or this simple crab dip, is deliciously hot or cold.
  • As a folded sandwich: Stuff fresh vegetables into bread, cooked chicken, chicken salad, egg salad, snack salmon or falafel.
  • Soup: Dip this soft bread into soups, such as our creamy vegetable soup, this simple bean chili, classic bean chili pepper or this roasted cauliflower soup.
  • Making pizza: We also love using these as the basis for these simple big bread pizzas.

Garlic Bread

  • Prepare

  • All

Use this homemade loaf as a folded sandwich, dip it in soup, or cut it into wedges and place it next to your favorite dip. They are soft and fluffy in the middle, enough to fold slightly. You won’t be able to use these closed-end packages – more like them more like gyroscopes or similar texture to Naan bread.

Make 6 large or 8 small breads

You will need

Garlic Olive Oil

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

3 tablespoons olive oil


Large bread

2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour and as needed

3/4 cup warm water

2ΒΌ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 pack)

1/2 teaspoon sugar or honey

3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Neutral flavored oil for lightly coated frying pans such as grape seeds or canola

direction

  • Inject oil
  • 1Add garlic, sesame and olive oil to a cold skillet. Place the skillet on low heat and stir occasionally for 5 to 10 minutes, or until fragrant, but before the garlic is browned. Set aside.

  • Making dough
  • 1Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix warm water, yeast and sugar together. Stir a few times and let stand for 5 minutes.

    2Use the yeast to add 1 cup flour and infused garlic oil mixture. Stir 3 to 4 times until the flour is moist. Let sit for another 5 minutes.

    3Stir the remaining flour and salt. Once the dough is gathered together, transfer it to the flour board and knead the dough 10 to 15 times until smooth, and if the dough seems to be unreasonably sticky, more flour will be added.

    4Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with a warm wet towel, and then raise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  • Finish
  • 1Turn the dough into a light floured working surface and cut into 6 large breads of equal size, or 8 pieces for smaller breads.

    2Shape it into a ball, cover it with a damp dishwash, and allow the dough to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

    3Heat a large, thick-bottomed frying pan or baking dish over medium heat (see notes below).

    4Press each dough ball into a flat plate about 1/8 inch thick with your fingertips.

    5Gently grease the skillet oil, then carefully place the bread and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it starts to brown. Flip, then continue cooking until cooked all the way. If the pan is too hot or smokes, reduce the heat slightly. Continue with the remaining bread.

Adam and Joanne’s Tips

  • Toast: Bake in a 425Β°F oven until puffed and cooked for about 10 minutes. (Baking allows you to cook multiple breads at the same time, but the bread won’t be as soft as a frying pan.)
  • storage: Let the bread cool completely and store at room temperature for 2 to 3 days or freeze for a month or two. Once you are ready to eat, re-warm in a hot pan or oven.
  • Add herbs: We also add these large breads to the dough. Add chopped fresh or dried herbs to the olive oil and garlic mixture – I use 1 tablespoon fresh or 1 teaspoon dry.
  • in advance: You can do the dough at room temperature for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Add the dough to a greasy food bag, seal it, and store it in the refrigerator for 24 to 36 hours. When you are ready to cook bread, remove the dough from the refrigerator and raise it to room temperature. Make it into small balls and continue with the recipe above.
  • Vegetarian advice: Replace honey with sugar.
  • Nutritional Facts: The nutritional facts provided below are estimates. We have used the USDA database to calculate the approximation. Let’s assume there are 8 breads per recipe.
