QUIBBLER CRAFTS, BREWS, AND HOBBIES
Ah, Garlic Bread. The most delicious way to figure out if that one person in your vicinity is a vampire. And ridiculously easy to make! So before Mlap bursts through my office trying to claim a piece of the cause of the entire Quibbler Tower’s strong garlic smell, let me give you the recipe. INGREDIENTS (for one bread) 125 gr flour 3gr dry instant yeast 3 gr salt 10 gr butter 80 ml water 3 cloves of garlic Optional: onion, chilli, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, oregano, coarse salt etc.
DIRECTIONS Making the dough 1. Put the flour into a mixer. On one side, put the salt, on the other yeast. 2. Pour a bit of the water onto the yeast and, using a spoon, mix the water, yeast and flour. 3. Add butter. 4. Cut a small clove into tiny pieces. Add raw. 5. Turn on the mixer at a slow speed whilst adding the water. When it forms a dough, use the spoon to scoop the dough together. 6. Mix at medium speed for about 5 minutes. When the dough spreads out too much over the bottom of the mixer, you might have to rescoop it together. The dough will be very soft, almost pourable. 7. Put the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise for about 3 hours. The first batch of garlic is put in raw before mixing. After kneading you probably won’t see it in the dough anymore, it’s completely dissolved to spread that good garlic taste throughout. After the first rise 1. Cut two cloves of garlic into small pieces. Fry them briefly in a dry pan so they brown slightly. 2. Cut the chilli/onion/olives/sundried tomatoes/whatever else you want to add. 3. Put all in the risen dough, use your hands to mix well. The dough should be soft, but not sticky.
