Perfect for parties, snack nights, or whenever you need something warm and extra cheesy 🤤 Ingredients For the Dough: • 100ml warm milk • 15g granulated sugar • 3g instant dry yeast • 1 large egg • 250g all purpose flour + extra 1-2 tbsp if still sticky • 1/2 tsp salt • 1/8 tsp basil • 1/8 tsp oregano • 1/4 tsp garlic powder • 50g unsalted butter, softened Garlic Butter Filling: • 75g unsalted butter, softened • Half clove garlic, minced • 1/8 tsp basil • 1/8 tsp oregano • Pinch of salt • 1/2 tsp parsley Toppings: • Mozzarella cheese • Parsley for toppings Instructions 1. Mix the liquid base: In a bowl, combine milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir until the yeast dissolves, then add the egg and mix well. 2. Form the dough: Add the flour, salt, basil, oregano, and garlic powder, then mix until a shaggy dough forms. 3. Knead: Gradually knead in the softened butter until the dough becomes smooth and elastic (about 8–10 minutes by hand or 5–6 minutes using a stand mixer). 4. First rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. 5. Make the filling: Prepare the garlic butter filling: In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, salt, basil, oregano, parsley, and minced garlic. Transfer to a piping bag (optional). 6. Portion: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 portions (75g each) and shape each into a ball. 7. Shape and fill: Roll out each ball into a rectangle. Pipe the garlic butter filling down the center and spread using a spatula. (You can also spread the filling directly without using a piping bag.) 8. Add cheese and seal: Add 2–3 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese over the filling, then fold the dough over to enclose it. Seal the edges tightly. 9. Create the braided effect: Using a knife, cut the bottom part of the dough into thin strips, then wrap toward the top to form a braided effect. Pinch both ends to keep the filling sealed. 10. Second rise: Arrange the rolls on a lined baking pan, cover, and let them rise again for 30–45 minutes, or until puffy. 11. Bake: Brush the tops with egg wash, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 18–20 minutes, or until golden. 12. Finish and serve: Melt any leftover garlic butter filling and brush it over the warm rolls. Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy while warm! #CheesyGarlicBread #Brioche #GarlicBread #CheesePull #Homemade #Foodie #Baking #ComfortFood #EasyRecipes
