Author: Gemma Stafford
Ingredients
  • 3 ½ cups (17½ oz/497 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 ¾ cups (14 fl oz/420 ml) lukewarm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup (2 oz/57 g) salted butter, melted
  • 2 large cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Instructions
Make the Dough
  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt.

  3. Add the warm water and olive oil and knead on medium speed for 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turn the dough to coat in oil, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 ½ hours.
  5. Once risen, punch the dough down and divide into 14 balls.

  6. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 6” (15 cm) log and place on the prepared baking sheets.

  7. Cover with clean, damp tea towels and let rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
Make the Garlic Butter

  1. While the dough is rising again, in a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic and parsley. Set aside.

  2. When the dough has almost risen, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Once the dough is ready, brush with half of the garlic butter and bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter. Serve while still warm.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
