This savoury pull-apart is like fluffy and cheesy garlic bread. Make this recipe from scratch for amazingly pillowy rolls that are great as a snack or a side.
Ingreadient:
- 4 cups (600g) bread flour
- 2 tsp (7g) active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 60g cold butter, finely diced
- ½ cup (125ml) milk
- ½ cup (125ml) cold water
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten, 1 egg for glazing
- 40g butter, melted
- 3 tsp garlic salt
- 3 tbsp chopped chives
- 100g mozzarella, cut into 1½ cm cubes
Direction:
- Place 2 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix at low speed for 30 seconds or until well combined
- Add butter, milk and water. Beat at low speed for 1-2 minutes or until butter has been completely incorporated. Remaining at low speed, gradually add beaten eggs a little at a time, mixing well between each addition. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Mixture should now be glossy and sticky
- Remove paddle attachment and insert dough hook. Beat on low speed and slowly add remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until it forms a firm dough
- Increase speed and knead for 5 minutes or until it forms a firm, smooth and elastic dough. Test using the windowpane method (see tips)
- Tip dough onto a lightly floured work surface and form into a ball. Place in an oiled bowl. Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper
- Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to form a 40cm square. Brush with half the melted butter and sprinkle garlic salt and chives evenly over the top. Roll dough to form a log. Cut into 20 pieces
- Roll each portion into balls, pushing a cube of mozzarella into the centre of each and rerolling to enclose. Place onto prepared baking tray. Cover with cling film and allow to rise in warm place for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C (fan-forced)
- Brush risen rolls with beaten egg. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Brush warm rolls immediately with remaining melted butter. Stand on baking tray for 5 minutes. Serve warm
