Ingredients
600gFlour
300mlWarm water
2teaspoons Instant yeast
1tablespoonSugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt (for the dough)
120gButter
2Garlic cloves finely minced
1Spring onion finely chopped(substitute with 1/2 red onion)
1/2bunchParsley leaves finely chopped(substitute with coriander)
1/2teaspoon Sea salt(for garlic butter)
Instructions
In a small bowl, add the room temperature butter and whisk lightly with a fork or whisk.
Once you whisk the butter, add the garlic, parsley, onion and the 1/2 teaspoon salt to the butter and mix very well. Cover and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the water, sugar, 1 1/2 tsp and yeast and then mix properly. Allow the yeast to activate for 5 minutes before adding salt and mixing well.
Add the flour and using a wooden spoon, mix the water and flour mixture till dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 12 minutes.
If kneading in a stand mixer, knead for about 7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with cling wrap. Go ahead and put it in a warm place and let the dough rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, divide it in two and roll each dough into a rectangle.
Rub the surface of the rolled out dough with the previously made garlic butter.
Using a pizza cutter or a knife cut the dough in strips of about 5 cm width and then go ahead and fold the dough to look like an accordion.
Place the accordion-like-dough next to each other in a greased baking pan leaving a little space between them because the dough will still expand.
Cover the baking pan with a cling wrap and rest for about 30 minutes to 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C and bake the garlic bread for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Let the bread cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the baking tin.
Allow your folded garlic bread to cool furthermore on a cooling wire rack for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy.
