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.
