PULL - APART GARLIC BREAD

PULL - APART GARLIC BREAD - TM

While on isolation I made this garlic pull-apart bread with the Thermomix. Delicious to eat hot out of the oven, but you can also wrap the leftovers with foil and warm them in the oven before serving.

INGREDIENTS

500g baker's flour

1 1/4 tsp dried yeast

1 1/4 tsp fine salt

180g filtered water

180g milk

70g butter

Oil, for proofing bowl

8 garlic cloves, peeled

a handful of fresh parsley

50g macadamia or olive oil

PROCEDURE:

Place flour, yeast, salt, water,mild and 20g butter in the TM bowl, and mix for 6 sec / speed 6.

Knead for 2 min / dough function.

Turn the bowl upside down over an oiled bowl, allowing dough to drop out. Using a spatula, tuck the dough under itself to form a ball. Cover and position in a warm place for 1 -2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Clean the bowl and add the garlic and parsley. Chop for 3 sec / speed 6. Scrape down the sides.

Add oil and remaining 50g butter, cook for 3 min / 60 C / speed 2.

Once dough has doubled in size, tip out onto a clean work surface. Cut into 20 even-sized pieces.

Dip each dough piece into the butter mixture and place in a 680g bread tin. Place 10 balls of dough on the bottom of the tin, and then, stack the remaining 10 on top and pour over any remaining butter mixture. Cover and position in a warm place for 30-60 minutes, or until dough has doubled in size again, rising approximately 2 cm from the top of the tin.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C.

Once doubled in size, cover tin with foil. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil. Bake for a further 15-25 minutes, or until bread is golden and cooked through. Remove from tin immediately and dig in.

Individual pieces will simply pull apart from the loaf, no knife required.
