Something a little different to garlic bread. These are delicious and a great accompaniment to most dishes. They are much quicker than making traditional garlic bread.
You’d be surprised that this uses less oil/butter than a lot of other garlic breads.
They just pull away from one another in bite size pieces. Great to share at BBQs! This makes about 20-25 pieces.

A delicious and lower fat alternative to garlic bread. Perfect to take along to a BBQ.
Ingredients
Scale
- 375g bakers flour
- 225g lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon yeast
- 1 teaspoon bread improver, optional
Filling
- 5 garlic cloves
- 50g grated cheese, parmasen or tasty works well
- 50g olive oil
Instructions
Dough
- Add the ingredients in this order: water, yeast, flour, improver and salt.
- Blitz on speed 7 for 10 seconds to roughly combine.
- Lock lid and use the kneading function for 6 mins.
- Remove dough and place into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with cling film and place into a warm spot. I use the front seat of my car or a warmed oven.
- Leave this to rise for approximately an hour or until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- Place garlic into bowl.
- Blitz on speed 9 until fine. Scrape down.
- Add cheese and oil.
- Mix on speed 4 until just combined.
- Pour into a bowl.
- With your dough, roll it into small balls. Vary the size slightly – cherry tomato and golf ball size work well.
- Roll each ball into the olive oil mixture and place into an oven proof dish. No need to grease the dish at all. Place balls close together.
- Sprinkle any remaining cheese and garlic over the balls.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and golden on top. If they are doughy cook a little longer.
Notes
- Bread improver is optional however will help ensure your loaf is nice and soft.
