Ah, Garlic Bread. The most delicious way to gure out if that one person in your vicinity is a vampire. And ridiculously easy to make! So before Mlap bursts through my o ce trying to claim a piece of the cause of the en re Quibbler Tower’s strong garlic smell, let me give you the recipe.

INGREDIENTS (for one bread) 125 gr our 3gr dry instant yeast 3 gr salt 10 gr bu er 80 ml water 3 cloves of garlic Op onal: onion, chilli, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, oregano, coarse salt etc.

DIRECTIONS

Making the dough

1. Put the our 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 our. 3. Add bu er. 4. Cut a small clove into ny 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 bo om of the mixer, you might have to rescoop it together. The dough will be very so , almost pourable. 7. Put the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise for about 3 hours.

The rst batch of garlic is put in raw before mixing. A er kneading you probably won’t see it in the dough anymore, it’s completely dissolved to spread that good garlic taste throughout.

A er the rst rise

1. Cut two cloves of garlic into small pieces. Fry them brie y 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 so , but not s cky.
