Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make homemade bread with cheese and garlic in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Before purchasing yeast, read the instructions. Since there is fast-acting yeast that mixes with flour immediately. In the same recipe you will need yeast, which is diluted with liquid — in this case, milk. Read about the types of yeast and how to replace them in recipes in the article below the steps.

Step 2

Step 2
In a deep bowl, mix warm milk, heated to 37-40°C, 2 tbsp. l. flour, sugar and yeast. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes. There should be a foam cap on the surface. This means that the yeast is active and you can knead the dough further. If this does not happen, you need to use other yeast; baking will not work with this.

Step 3

Step 3
Add room temperature egg, melted butter and salt to the dough and stir. First wash the egg in running water and food detergent to remove any possible contamination.

Step 4

Step 4
Sift in the remaining flour and knead into a soft, homogeneous dough. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. This will make the bread softer and rise well during baking. Please note that you may need more or less flour. The dough itself will take as much as it needs. If the dough is still sticky and you need even more flour than the recipe calls for, it is better not to overfill the dough with flour, otherwise the finished dough will be too dense and tasteless.

Step 5

Step 5
Cover the dough with a towel and leave it warm for 1 hour to rise. For more information about flour and its properties, read the article below the steps.

Now prepare the filling. Melt the butter and cool. You can replace butter with any vegetable oil.

Wash the dill and parsley, dry and finely chop. If desired, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, cilantro, wild garlic, green onions, or use a mixture of different herbs

Step 9

In a bowl, mix melted butter, chopped herbs, pressed garlic, salt and pepper.

Step 10

Step 10
Punch down the risen dough and shape into a semicircular loaf. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, make deep cross-shaped cuts on the surface of the workpiece.

Step 11

Step 11
Distribute the herbs and garlic over the surface of the bread. Place slices of cheese into the slits. Bake the bread in an oven preheated to 200°C for 20-25 minutes. The exact time depends on your technique, products and personal preferences. If you wish, you can place a baking sheet with water on the bottom of the oven. This will make the garlic bread fluffier and rise better. Read about the features of ovens in the article below the steps.
