HERB & GARLIC PULL APART
Bread
Approx 450g lukewarm water
1 tblsp yeast
1 ½ tsp salt
750g baker’s flour
5 tblsp oil
Herb & garlic butter (won’t use all of this)
600g fresh cream
Fine salt approx 1 tsp
50g light olive oil - optional
Garlic (I used 2 big cloves, but needed more)
Parsley
Bread
Place all ingredients into TM bowl and mix for 5 seconds on speed 7 to combine.
Set dial to closed lid position and knead for 2 mins on interval speed.
Place in oiled bowl, cover with gladwrap and put in a warm place to rise until doubled, approx 20-30 mins.
Make herb butter while bread is proving. (or make earlier so you can clean bowl out properly)
Place a few cloves of garlic and parsley into TM bowl and turbo a few times until finely chopped. Remove from bowl and set aside. Wipe out bowl.
Place butterfly into bowl. Add cream and blend for 1-3 mins to separate on speed 4.
Strain buttermilk carefully, remove butterfly.
Place 500g cold water into bowl and mix for 5-10 secs on speed 4. Remove water from bowl, re-fill with water and mix again. The idea is to get the water clea. When clear, strain through the basket and you are left with your butter.
Place butterfly back into bowl. Add butter, salt, garlic & herb mixture and if wanting to make spreadable butter, light olive oil, and combine for 30 secs on speed 4.
Roll out dough into a big rectangle on baking mat.
Spread herb butter over dough and cut dough with butter knife into 3 - 4 cm wide strips. Arrange dough strips on top of each other, then gently allow to fall to the side so they are all sitting on their sides, touching each other on a baking paper lined tray.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180° C for approx 40-45 mins.

thank you for posting another one of your recipes, julieO. i love making your recipes - you always explain everything so well, it's almost like having you in the kitchen guiding me through it all.
thanks again.
-
True - You are quite an inspiration! And your photos wonderful!!!

Hey JulieO, Thanks for sharing and thanks for the photo - I love trying out a recipe when there's a photo of it - just makes it easier somehow.
-
Thanks JulieO - great pics and recipe again. Really good.
-
I made this last night. It makes a big 'loaf', more than what my family needed in one meal.
I used Nuttelex instead of making my own butter. I used 100g and added 2 cloves + 3 of the tiny cloves that come on the head. It wasn't enough garlic for us.
This was very easy to make (the only bread I've made so far other than pizza bases). Next time I will add more garlic and sprinkle on some cheese too.
Thanks for posting this recipe JulieO .
-
Thanks for reviewing Rubyslippers. I haven't made this for a long time but I would certainly halve the recipe these days, good if serving a few people though. ;D
Julie.

That picture still makes me drool. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
The picture looks lovely
Made this today, it doesnt look anything like the picture. Cooked for 30 mins & started to burn!!
Not sure where I went wrong, I cut it in 1/2 when I took it out the oven. I now have strips, but thats OK the boys are having a strip each for morning tea. Will freeze & put in lunch box.
H >:(
-
If my memory is right this recipe was from a consultant back when I first got my machine. Haven't made it since then, must have another try.
As long as it's not wasted Hally and it tasted alright, that's all that matters. :-*
-
It tastes fine, 2 boys have eaten 4 sticks already.
The rest are wrapped in pairs & in the freezer. Will use for after school munchies & lunchbox treats.
H :)
-
I would imagine they would be good for little hands to hold. :D
-
Yes ;D also good for battles, LOL hence I froze the rest.
Very tasty though, just didnt look like yours.

I made a variation of this today and everyone was convinced that I had bought it from Bakers Delight!
It made enough to make two flavours. - one with tomato paste, grated cheese and ham & the other with garlic rainbow chard and feta cheese. I wilted a bunch of chard in a frypan and then drained and squeezed out the moisture and chopped it finely. I then sautéed it in a little basil infused oil with a couple of cloves of garlic, and left it to cool. I then spread it onto the dough, sprinkled it with crumbled feta and a little grated tasty cheese.
This is definitely a 5/5 recipe. Thanks!

Fantastic.

They look superb ES ;D Laughed at the steamed caterpillar,at least it was organic :D
-
ES, looks so much better than the original. Great ideas there, no wonder your family were happy. :D
-
That looks delicious Sue. A big compliment saying it was like Bakers' Delight.
-
Oh ta for the recipe. Definitely on the to-do list. Pics look divine :)
-
ES, what a great job you did.
:)

Emeraldsue it looks amazing! How did you fold/put it in the dish? I want to make one but not sure how to go about it. Is it a pie/quiche dish?
-
Yes, I used my quiche dishes - one was china and the other silicone. I lined it with baking paper which I wet, crumpled, straightened out again and roughly pushed into the dish. ( a tip I learned from my neighbour ). When it was cooked, it was easy to remove just by grabbing the paper on two opposite sides, and lifting it out of the quiche dish.
The dough rose very well, so I put it on my Ikea pastry mat which I had dusted with a little flour, and rolled it out into a large rectangle.

I then slathered on the toppings quite thickly.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/76d27003-056e-91d3.jpg)
You can see that I put the ham and cheese topping on the right, and the spinach topping on the left.
I then used my plastic pastry cutting tool that came with the mat to cut it into vertical strips about 6 cm wide, starting in the middle to separate the two different toppings. After I had cut the strips, I made one cut crosswise to cut the whole thing in two, to make the strips half their original size.
I then picked up the top of the first strip, and stretched it out, trying not to dislodge too much of the topping, until the end of the strip is still on the mat. It stretches quite a lot as you pick it up. I then moved my hand backwards and forwards, so that the dough folds back on itself in a concertina fashion, also slowly moving my hand downwards as the dough folds down on itself. Once it has been folded up, I picked it up and placed it sideways into the dish, so that if you were to pull one end, it would unfold. This is what makes the sections pull apart once it's cooked. I then did the same to the next strip and nestled it next to the first strip in the dish. I then continued until all the strips had been folded and put in the dish. This is not a neat exercise and no precision is required!

You can then bake it straight away, or do as I did, and cover with a tea towel, take it to your SIL's and bake it it her oven 30-45 min later.

Thanks for all the help, I am going to try it next week when it is my turn to take in a morning tea to work. I would have to bake the night before so hope it stays looking yummy!
-
ES - that's a brilliant description of how you achieved those wonderful looking breads. There is a youtube that shows how to do this but, oh my, it's hard to watch as the camera moves so much. Here's the link if anyone would like to see it . . .the actual folding bit is about half way through the video.

Thanks for the video link goldfish, hard to watch but the idea is clearer in my mind now.
-
Thanks for posting the link to the video goldfish. I agree that the video is hard to watch, but it's easier to understand by watching someone do it, than by trying to interpret written words.
Bec8112, I hope that you enjoy them as much as we did.
-
I've used that method for garlic bread but can't imagine trying to do it with dough that is packed with ingredients - i imagine they would just fall out everywhere ???
-
Wonder, some of the topping did fall off, but not as much as you may think. I just scooped up the excess topping and added it to the next strip. At the end, there was a little topping left over, but i just tucked it in amongst the folds. It is a messy process, but's it's all contained on the pastry mat, so is easy to deal with. As I said before, no precision is necessary! :P
-
ES, this looks great. Love the photo and thanks for the instructions. Another BREAD TRAGIC.
-
Looks fab.
A bread tragic chookie..... Is that what I am. My bread genie was let out long ago. Now looking at soaping, me thinks on this basis I could easily be a soap tragic too!
-
Fantastic bread
-
I was going to make this today - is a TABLESPOON of dried yeast correct?
-
Yes Bonsai it is. :)
-
Thanks JulieO
