Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup Water lukewarm
- 2 tsp Active Yeast dry
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 3 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Milk Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Butter for kneading, softened
Garlic Herb Butter
- 5 tbsp Butter melted
- 2 tbsp Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Chili Flakes
- 1 tsp Oregano dried
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy. This activates the yeast and ensures a well-risen dough.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk powder, and salt.
- Add the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 7-10 minutes, adding the softened butter gradually. Kneading develops the gluten, resulting in a soft and elastic dough.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic herb butter. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chili flakes, and dried oregano.
- Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Roll it out into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
- Spread the garlic herb butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving some space between them. Cover and let rise for another 40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush the rolls with milk and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once baked, brush the warm bread with melted butter or olive oil for extra flavor and shine.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For even more flavor, try adding caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms between the bread segments before baking to create extra savory layers.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, incorporate finely chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of smoked paprika along with the chili flakes for a deeper heat profile.
- To make this bread ahead of time, assemble it up to the final rise, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight; bake fresh in the morning for a convenient brunch option.
- Serve with a side of warm marinara or herbed yogurt dip for added richness and a café-style presentation.
Expert Tips
- Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure your yeast is fresh for a proper rise. Proof it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough.
- Don't overbake the bread; it should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
