Hi, I am new to baking too!! I baked yesterday, Domino's style garlic bread!! It came out soooo well I did not get time enough to click a pic before everyone devoured it all!! Bread was soft and puffy and thin crisp crust was awesome!! U ppl must try it too! Here s the recipe for all ILs! Link also provided! Garlic Breadsticks Recipe slightly adapted from Bombay Foodie Ingredients Water - 1/2 cup Instant Dry Yeast - 1/2 tsp Sugar - 1/2 tsp Flour - 1 1/2 cups,divided Olive oil - 2 tbsp,divided Salt to taste Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning/Oregano - 1 tbsp Amul cheese cube - 1,grated Method In a mixing bowl,add water,yeast and sugar and keep aside for 5-10 minutes or until the yeast bubbles up.Garlic Breadsticks-step1 Mix in 1 cup of flour,1 tbsp olive oil and mix in until the flour is blended in.Cover and let it rise until it doubles-about 45 minutes to an hour.Garlic Breadsticks-step2 To the doubled sponge,mix in the rest of the flour,salt to taste and garlic paste and again mix until the flour is blended in.Garlic Breadsticks-step3 Now knead the flour for about 5-10 minutes or until the dough becomes smooth.Let it rise for another hour or so until it doubles.Garlic Breadsticks-step4 Smear a baking sheet with olive oil and preheat the oven to 200C. Flour your counter top and roll the dough to a rough elongated circle.Top with the grated cheese and fold the dough to resemble a semi circle shape.Garlic Breadsticks-step5 Transfer it to the baking sheet and smear the rest of the olive oil on top and top with the seasoning/oregano.Garlic Breadsticks-step6 Cut into strips using a pizza cutter and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown on top. Garlic Breadsticks Yeastspotted Notes The original recipe calls for Garlic powder which I didn't have,so I used Garlic paste. The bread doesn't brown much,so go by your instinct with regard to the baking time.It took exactly 14 minutes in my oven.
