Method

  1. Measure the flour, yeast and salt into a large bowl. Mix 300ml hand-hot water with the oil and honey in a jug, then pour into the dry mix, stirring all the time to make a soft dough.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, then knead for 5 mins until the dough no longer feels sticky, sprinkling with a little more flour as you need it. Now stretch it to fit the Swiss roll tin.
  3. Mix the garlic with the butter, then dot over the dough. Sprinkle over the cheese and snip over the thyme. Cover the bread with lightly oiled cling film, then leave in a warm place to rise for 40 mins.
  4. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Remove the cling film, then bake the bread for 30 mins until golden and risen. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then cut into 12 pieces and serve.

Tip

You can even turn this into pizza by adding ham or tuna with some sliced tomatoes before adding the cheese.

    Great! I made it into a pizza assuggested - with some tomatoes, tuna and grated cheddar on the top. It was quite high though, so next time I'll use half for pizza and half for small garlic bread.

    I have made this recipe more than once now,in fact it is a family favourite especially with the kids.The first time i tried it exactly like the recipe and the second time i made it with tomatoe sauce and different toppings like a pizza.The pastry comes really soft and delicious.I like to do it almost every BBQ as a starter.If you're going to try it make sure to double the recipe as it disappears very fast!

    First time I have made bread and was a total success! Made it with my mixer, which saved time, and will not be buying garlic bread ever again! Quite fancy the idea of adding sundried tomatoes to the mix next time. Highly recommended

    I have rated this before, but I wanted to put on a comment to say that myself and my family like quite a strong garlic taste so I have started to use Garlic infused olive oil in the bread and lurpack garlic butter on the top. My children now want me to make it with nearly everything I cook!!!

    It's a success! I just had my 1st bite and it was good. Relatively easy to make. The texture is more like a focaccia bread. Instead of mixing the garlic and butter together, I just dripped them on separately which was a mistake as the garlic went a bit dry if not somewhat bitter in taste. Used dried thyme. All was good. Will try it again.

    Top marks! Love recipes that are this simple, but with such a great result. I used an extra clove of garlic, but I'd still like a stronger flavour. I wonder if anyone put the garlic into the bread?
