Garlic Fan Bread

Found this fancy bread on Zack's few month back and felt intrigued to try them out. I halved the recipe to suit both of us and I must admit mine turned out a little burnt. But yummy nevertheless! =)

225ml warm milk
15g fresh yeast - 5g instant yeast
2 tsp caster sugar
450g bread flour

55g butter, salted
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
How to make:
Combine milk, yeast and caster sugar til frothy.
Sift flour and salt together. Rub shortening (or butter) into flour mix.
Make a well in the centre of flour mix and pour in yeast mixture and egg.
Combine and knead 8-10 minutes by hand til smooth.
Place dough in a bowl covered with thin olive oil, turning it over so oil covers entire dough ball.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave to prove til double in size.

Mix the 55g butter, garlic and chopped parsley.

Punch dough and knead 2 minutes. Roll out into rectangular size to 80cm x 30cm.

Cut lengthways to 6 strips.
Layer each strip on top of one another and cut into 16 pieces.
Place each piece in prepared muffin tins and leave to prove for 30 mins.

This recipe takes time and effort to make. And keep a close eye when its baking in the oven. An alternative to the traditional garlic bread =) You can vary them and make them into sweet, soft cinnamon fan bread. Anything to your fancy. Enjoy!
