Pull Apart Bread With A Garlicky Butter Filling

Ingredients

For the Dough:

11/4 cup warm milk

1 tsp sugar

2 tsp active dry yeast

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp chilli flakes

For the Filling:

tbsp melted butter

1 tbsp garlic powder

red chilli flakes to taste

1 tbsp italian herbs

1/2 cup grated  cheese

Method.

Method:

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and the yeast in the 1/2 cup of warm milk. Keep aside for about 5 minutes till the yeast mixture bubbles up.

Put 2 3/4 cup of flour, salt, softened butter, garlic powder and chilli flakes.

Add the Yeast Mixture and the remaining milk and form a dough and knead it nicely.

Transfer the dough to a work platform and knead the dough nicely, if sticky add little more dough and knead for at least 8-10 mins.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a well-oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it completely with oil.

Cover and let it rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until almost double in volume.

Dust your work surface lightly with flour. Deflate the dough.

Roll the dough out into a large square.

In a bowl Mix all the ingredients for the filling apart from cheese and mix nicely.

Spread the filling all over the dough nicely and then sprinkle the cheese all over.

Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough from top to bottom into 6 long and even strips  Lay each strip on top of the next, with the topping facing upwards, until you have a stack of the strips.

You can put the 2 strips cut from the sides in the middle of the stack so it looks neater.

Cut straight down through the stack dividing it into 6 equal pieces.

Grease and lightly flour a loaf tin.

Layer the square slices, cut sides down into the loaf tin

Cover the loaf tin dough with a towel and allow the dough to rise for an hour.

Lightly brush some milk over the top of the loaf .

Bake the dough at 180C  for about 30 to 40 minutes until it is done and the top is golden brown.

Serve warm with a soup for a complete Dinner.

Pinks Notes : 

I would love to try new fillings and diff. herbs.

You can also shape them into rolls as well or prepare them as a monkey.
