Who doesn't love the smell of fresh garlic bread baking at home?
Ingredients
7 gms active dry yeast
1.5 tsp sugar
4 cups plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp Pukara Estate Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1.5 tbsp dried rosemary
3 finely minced cloves of garlic
1.5 tsp of your favourite Pukara Estate Salt Flakes
Method
In a bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and 1 1/2 cups of lukewarm water. Prove yeast for 10-15 minutes. Add 4 cups of flour, 1 tbsp of Garlic Oil, and the salt, then stir through, adding more flour if necessary. The consistency should be soft and sticky.
Place in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat lightly with oil. Cover and place in a warm spot for an hour to rise or double in size.
Knead dough again and place in a well-oiled 38 x 26 x 3 cm pan. Cover loosely and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
Mark dough with fingers and drizzle remaining olive oil, rosemary, and salt on top. Place on the center rack of a preheated 200°C oven.
Cook for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
