Whole wheat stuffed cheese garlic bread

Whole wheat stuffed cheese garlic bread

In my previous post I had mentioned that I will post my recipe on stuffed garlic bread using whole wheat flour so, in this post I would like to share my recipe. This recipe gives a nutritional twist. But it will not appear or taste as soft as the original stuffed garlic bread recipe because of the nature of the whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour has less quality of elasticity compared to all purpose flour, resulting in less softness and stickiness.

This recipe is equally simple. All you need is just a handful of ingredients and then you are all set. You can skip adding cheese to this recipe if you want to lessen the calorie content in the recipe. But cheese adds great flavor and there’s not much harm in adding a very little cheese. However choice is yours!!

Whole wheat Stuffed Cheese Garlic Bread recipe:

Ingredients:

· Whole wheat flour (atta) -2 cups.

· Dry yeast – 1 ¼ tsp

· Crystal sugar 1 tsp

· Warm milk ½ cup

· Salt – as per taste

· Garlic paste 1 tbsp

· Olive Oil 2 to 3 tbsp

· Butter 1 tbsp

· Oregano 2 tsp

· Chilli flakes 1 tsp

· Sweet corn 1 small cup

· Jalapeno ½ small cup

· Grated mozarella cheese 1 tsp

· Grated cheddar cheese (you can also use normal amul cheese) 1 tsp

· Warm water 1 ½ cup (enough water to knead the dough)

· Basil leaves (optional)

Method of preparation:

Step 1:

In a small bowl add yeast, sugar, pour in warm milk. The milk must not be too hot or too cold, just luke warm temperature. Or else the yeast will not react as desired. Let it rise, it will take about 15 mins.

Step 2:

In another big bowl add whole wheat flour (atta), salt, 2 tbsp of olive oil and risen (proofed) yeast. Mix well. Add warm water for mixing the dough. Mix well till it is soft and slight sticky,(this will give you a good soft bread). Smear some oil over the formed dough. Close the bowl with a cloth or lid and keep it aside for 1 hour.

Step 3:

After an hour you can see the dough has risen to double in size. Mix the dough again. Smear some oil again, close it and keep it aside for another half an hour.

Step 4:

In parallel to your preparation, you can make the garlic paste mixture. For this take another small bowl add all the melted butter, garlic paste, oregano, chilli flakes. Keep it aside.

Step 5:

Pre heat oven at 220 degree Celsius for 20 mins.

Step 6:

Take the dough. It would have risen again. Knead the dough again and roll it into a thick flat round in shape. To half of the round flat dough, spread a layer of the garlic paste mixture you just prepared. Add sweet corn, jalapenos, sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over them. Sprinkle some salt. Close it with other half of the dough and gently press on the sides. The shape must be of a semi circle after stuffing, folding and concealing.

Step 7:

To this now smear another layer of the remaining garlic paste mixture on top of the dough. There should be a thick layer of paste on the dough for the perfect taste. After thoroughly covering the top of the dough, gently using the knife slit the dough in vertical lines. It should form nearly 5 to 6 lines. This makes it easier for you to cut these in sticks after its completely baked. You can sprinkle some more of oregano and basil leaves (optional).

Step 8:

Grease the baking tray with olive oil. Place the stuffed dough onto this tray and keep it in oven. Bake it at 220 degree Celsius for 30 to 35 mins. The top of the dough should have a good brown in color. Not too brown!

Step 9:

Remove the bread out of the oven and cut into proper sticks with the help of the lines you had formed previously. The dough should not be sticky or smell of half baked bread( raw smell).

Step 10:

Your garlic bread is now ready. Enjoy this as it is with hot soup!! This combination is simply heaven!!
