Gourmet Garlic Loaf Over The Top Garlic Bread Food

THE BEST GARLIC BREAD

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.

THE WORLD'S BEST ROASTED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl or in the bowl of your stand mixer, stir together the water, yeast, and sugar. Set aside for about ten minutes, or until foamy.
• Add the salt, garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
• If using a mixer, use the dough hook attachment and add the flour about 1/2 cup at a time. Continuing adding flour until the dough pulls away from the edge of the bowl and is just a little sticky to touch. Knead with the dough hook on low speed for about five minutes. To knead by hand, stir in flour 1/2 cup at a time until it becomes to difficult to stir. Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface and continue to knead in the flour a bit at a time, until barely sticky to the touch.
• Oil a large bowl with a little olive oil. Add the dough to the bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled, about an hour to an hour and a half.
• While the dough is rising, roast the garlic. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the garlic cloves on a piece of foil large enough to wrap around them. Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil over the cloves and wrap the foil tightly around them. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cloves are just soft. Roughly dice the cloves.
• After dough has risen, punch it down. Move one oven rack to the bottom of the oven, another to the middle. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Lightly oil and flour a baking sheet.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the garlic cloves into the dough. Form the dough into a loaf on the baking sheet. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes to an hour.
• Once risen, lightly sprinkle the top with flour. Using a sharp knife, make three diagonal slits in the loaf.
• Place an empty rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack in the oven. Place the baking sheet with the shaped dough on the middle rack. Before closing the oven door, pour 1/2 cup water onto the empty sheet pan on the bottom rack. Close the oven door quickly to trap the steam. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

CHEESE & GARLIC PULL-APART LOAF

Steps:

• Butter a 900g loaf tin and line with baking parchment that comes well above the longer sides. Make up the bread following the pack instructions. Leave the dough to rest under a cloth for 10 mins. Shape into a log on a lightly floured surface and divide it into six pieces. Mix the cheese, garlic, parsley and butter together.
• Roll each piece of dough out into a rectangle, or as near to a rectangle as you can, the width should be just shorter than the width of the tin and the length about twice the depth of the tin, and lay the rectangles out side by side. Divide the cheese mixture between them (reserving 1 tbsp) and spread it out as much as possible. Fold each rectangle in half and then put them into the tin one after the other, starting at one end. You may need to squeeze them a bit to fit them all in. Don't worry about the dough sticking out of the top of the tin. Cover the dough and leave to rise for about 30 mins or until risen. Crumble the remaining cheese mix over the top.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Bake for 40-45 mins or until golden and puffed (don't under-cook it or it may be squidgy in the middle). Leave the loaf in the tin for 10 mins, then lift it out with the parchment. Serve it whole, ready to be pulled into pieces.
