How To Make Garlic Bread
Discover how to make homemade garlic bread with this step by step guide. Serve as an accompaniment to your favourite dish or on its own as a delicious appetiser. Alternatively, you can use Napolina Pizza Bases, if you’re short on time.
Ingredients
For the garlic butter
140g butter, softened at room temperature
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Handful of parsley, finely chopped
For the dough
200g strong white flour
1x7g sachet dried yeast
1 teaspoon salt
160ml warm water
Method
For the garlic butter
Finely chop the garlic and parsley.
Mix into the softened butter until fully combined.
Place in a pot to spread onto your bread base, or to serve with dough balls.
For the dough
Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl.
Slowly add the water, mixing gently with a spoon.
When the dough starts to form, tip out from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and knead together for 5-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with cling film, leaving to stand for 30 minutes.
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circular shape about a cm thick.
Grease a baking tray and place your base on, spreading with a layer of garlic butter.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 220C for 8 minutes or until golden and crispy.
For dough balls
Instead of rolling out into a flat base, when proved, split the dough into about 15 small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Grease a baking tray and place the balls on, baking for 8 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 220C or until golden.
Serve in bowl with the garlic butter on the side.
*If you don’t want to make your own dough, why not use Napolina Pizza Bases. Spread the garlic butter across the pizza base and bake in a pre-heated oven at 220C for 10 minutes.
