Ukrainian Garlic Bread
Freshly baked garlic bread that is so aromatic you won’t need to call everyone for dinner cause they’ll be running down the stairs already.Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon fresh yeast
- 2 ounces warm water
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- Scant 1 cup white flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (new) garlic, crushed
- 3 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus extra for oiling
- Lightly beaten egg, to glaze
- fine sea salt
- Half a bunch of parsley, finely chopped
Method:
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in the water (make sure it is warm, hot water kills yeast). Add half of the flour and mix roughly. Cover with clingfilm and leave to proof in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next morning, add the rest of the flour and 1/2 tablespoon of fine sea salt to the dough and knead on a well-floured work surface until smooth and pulls away from your hands easily. new food recipes
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape into round buns. Put them side by side in an oiled round ovenproof dish or a 9 1/2-inch round cake tin, cover and let them prove again, this time in a warm place until doubled in size. They will join together just like hot cross buns do.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Stir the crushed garlic through the oil with a small pinch of sea salt and let it infuse.
- When the dough looks plump and ready, brush them generously with the egg to glaze and bake them for 20-25 mins or until they form a glistening golden crust. Take them out and baste them with garlic oil. Serve immediately.
