Garlic Bread

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp Active dry yeast
1/2 tsp Honey/sugar
1/2 cup Warm water
10-12 pods garlic, crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter(salted), melted
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp oregano

Method

1. Add lukewarm water and honey to yeast.Let the yeast proof for 5 min till you see a frothy mixture.
2. Take 1 cup flour and add yeast mixture to it and mix nicely with hands. Rest this batter for 45 min till it doubles.
3. Add the remaining flour, (8,9) garlic grated and salt and mix nicely. At this stage you may need to add couple of tbsp of water to get the dough together.Knead it nicely and transfer to a floured counter space and knead the dough for the 8-10 min till the dough is smooth and springy.
4. The dough will be a bit sticky so i added olive oil in my hands to get the dough together.
5. Transfer the dough on generously floured baking tray and shape into a circle with hands.
6. Let the dough double again which can take from 1 hr or more. Keep it in some warm space like your switched off oven.
7. Now prepare "garlic butter" (3 tbsp butter + 2,3 crushed garlic + 1/2 tsp black pepper powder).
8. Preheat the oven to 170C. Brush 1/3rd of this butter on top of the bread dough. Slice the dough with pizza cutter.
9. Bake the bread for 12 min on 170C and then for 2-3 minutes on 200C or till its slightly brown on top.
10. Generously spread leftover garlic butter on the bread and let it soak it.
11. Serve hot.
