PERFECT GARLIC BREAD FROM SCRATCH



Perfect Garlic Bread from Scratch image

you can do this with pre-made french bread if you're short on time but i really think it's worth it to do this from start to finish on a lazy afternoon. goes beautifully with pasta or a nice light cream soup. i use my own homemade butter for this (possibly because i'm crazy). if you want to do that it's really easy: just take whipping cream at room temp, whip it way past the point of whipping cream and you'll see the fat separate from the milk. squeeze the newborn butter to the side of the bowl and pour off the milk (keep that, it's perfectly good), rinse the butter under cold water three or four times, breaking it up to wash out the extra milk, then mix in a little salt. you can easily double or triple this but it may or may not freeze well. the dough and butter would probably freeze better separately.

Time 2h

Yield 1 loaf, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 -2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
1/2 tablespoon instant yeast
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1/4-1/3 cup butter (room temp, homemade really is better)
1/2 teaspoon dill
6 garlic cloves, minced (i run it through my garlic grinder)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper

Steps:

  • mix the yeast and sugar in a measuring cup, that keeps it from getting lumpy, add the cup of warm water and stir together. let sit for 5 minute.
  • mix 2 cups flour and salt in a med sized bowl, then dump in yeast mix and stir until a soft dough forms.
  • kneed until dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed. don't add so much flour that it becomes dry, it should still be slightly sticky.
  • rinse out the bowl and swirl the oil around in it, put the dough back in and turn it over so it's coated.
  • cover the bowl (i like to wrap a tea towel over and under it), and place in a warm (not hot!) oven to rise. i usually turn my oven on to the lowest setting that will turn on the element for 5 min and then turn off.
  • once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and form into a long, thin loaf. place on a cookie sheet that you've oiled and sprinkled with cornmeal. slash diagonally with a sharp knife 3 or 4 times. place it back in your warm oven until it's doubled again.
  • turn the oven up to 375f for 20 minutes. my oven runs a little cool so i turn it up to closer to 380 or 390. a little too warm is better then a little to cool in this case. after 20 min it should be nicely golden on top. let it cool until no more then warm.
  • in the mean time mix all ingredients of the garlic butter.
  • slice vertically into 3/4-1 inch slices, leaving the bottom crust intact. carefully pull slices apart so you can spread the butter on each side of each slice without breaking them apart.
  • wrap loosely but completely in foil and bake at 400f for 10-15 minutes. serve immediately.

THE BEST GARLIC BREAD



The Best Garlic Bread image

We went very classic with this garlic bread recipe-lots of butter and lots of garlic loaded onto warm, soft and pillowy French bread. You could make a light meal by rounding it out with a crisp green salad. Or serve it our favorite way-alongside your favorite red-sauce pasta.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large soft Italian or French loaf
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter is golden and the garlic is very fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Liberally brush the crust with the garlic butter. Turn the bread cut-side up. Slice each loaf crosswise at 2-inch intervals without cutting all the way through, making "pull-apart" garlic bread. Liberally brush the cut sides of the bread with more garlic butter, spreading any remaining garlic evenly over top. You should use all the garlic butter. Carefully transfer the bread to a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the loaves with the Parmesan and a pinch of salt and bake until the edges of the bread are a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the parsley. Serve warm.

HOMEMADE CIABATTA GARLIC BREAD RECIPE



Homemade Ciabatta Garlic Bread Recipe image

Easy garlic bread recipe with my no-fail technique for getting a perfectly crunchy outside and chewy inside! This lighter garlic bread uses olive oil instead of butter, and loads of herbs for bold flavor. I use a 1-pound ciabatta loaf, but any rustic Italian bread or French baguette would work well. For vegan garlic bread, omit the cheese or substitute it with nutritional yeast.

Categories     Appetizer     Sides     Snack

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound loaf ciabatta bread
1/2 cup Italian parsley
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and pepper
4-5 cloves garlic, (peeled)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup grated or shredded parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add the garlic, rosemary, oregano, and parsley to a small food processor and blend. Drizzle in the olive oil from the top opening of the food processor while everything is blending. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Place the bread flat on a cutting board. Place your non-dominant hand on top of the bread. Take a knife and slice the bread in half horizontally.
  • Spoon the herb and garlic oil equally onto both halves of the bread and spread it all over. Put the bread halves back together.
  • Line a large sheet pan with foil. Place the bread flat on the pan and cover with another piece of foil. Crimp the foil sides to close tightly.
  • Bake the foil-wrapped bread on the center rack of the heated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and uncover it. Separate the two halves of bread and place them side by side on the sheet pan.
  • Sprinkle grated parmesan onto the bread.
  • Return the sheet pan with the bread to the oven for another 10 minutes, until the bread crisps with golden edges and some of the cheese is slightly golden.
  • Cut into 1-inch slices and serve immediately.

HOMEMADE GARLIC CHEDDAR CHEESE BREAD



Homemade Garlic Cheddar Cheese Bread image

This is the most delicious bread, both warm from the oven or toasted. It also makes the best super cheesy grilled cheese sandwiches! This is also good with a bit of basil worked into the dough. I have also made this in a bread machine, but I do NOT recommend it. The cheese becomes too pulverized and it does not turn out even remotely as good. This makes two loaves so even though it is some trouble to make, as any good homemade bread is, you can make it once and get two loaves for your trouble - one for now and one for later. ***Edit: I haven't made this bread in a while, and Kay's review reminded me that it is good to replace at least some of the shredded cheese with small chunks instead, if you want a more perceptably cheesy flavor. The shreds do tend to blend in with the dough, while the chunks melt into pockets in the bread. ***

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h15m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter
6 cups flour, more as necessary to correct stickiness
2 packages active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon garlic powder (I use more!)

Steps:

  • Heat milk and butter to 120°F Combine half of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk and butter mixture, cheese, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
  • Knead with a mixer fitted with a dough hook at highest speed for 3 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the flour and continue kneading for 3 more minutes.
  • If the dough seems too sticky, slowly add more flour until the stickiness is corrected.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, and spray the top of the dough with cooking spray.
  • Cover and let rise for one hour.
  • Punch the dough down and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough in half and form one loaf each in two greased 9 x 5 inch standard loaf pans.
  • Cover the pans with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise for 45-60 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F Bake loaves for 10 minutes; then turn oven down to 350F and bake for 30-35 minutes longer, until the breads are browned.
  • Cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes; turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool for a minimum of 5-10 more minutes so the bread firms up enough to be cut.

Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic. Fresh garlic has a stronger flavor than garlic powder or garlic salt, and it will give your bread a more robust flavor.
  • Don't overproof the dough. If the dough overproofs, it will become too soft and sticky to work with, and the bread will be dense and heavy.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and has a crispy crust.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing it. This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature. The bread will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Garlic yeast bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a side dish, used for sandwiches, or even as a bread bowl for soup. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for beginner and experienced bakers alike. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying bread to make, give garlic yeast bread a try!
