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.

    Quick and easy to make and very tasty! Didn't have any fresh herbs to hand but added a little dried thyme, oregano and a sprinkle of sea salt and it was delicious. Will definitely be making it again. Went very well with the hearty pasta soup recipe.

    Hi Viv Yes this mixture happily goes into the bread machine (Liquid first then dry on top). I put mine on a 500g loaf size and then onto the dough setting (About 1hr 20 in my machine). Once done I lightly oiled (With olive oil) a rectangle roasting tin and spread/stretched out the dough. I then added the toppings, covered with cling film to rise which is did to nearly double, then cooked as per the recipe. It was a total triumph being just like something you buy from the supermarket about 2" thick!. Going to make it again but maybe add slightly more salt and will try adding some fried onions to the mix.

    Do you need to flour, grease or line the swiss roll tin?

    I made this bread as an appetizer for my dinner party. It went down well, but I did think the bread was a bit dry and lacked some flavour. However, this could be due to the fact that I let the bread rise for roughly 4 hours, which might be too long? I think I will try making it again but only let it rise for 40 minutes as suggested. Perhaps a little more salt and garlic would be nicer as well. :)

    Used the basis of the recipe and used buffalo mozzerella and Sweet bell peppers for the topping which was very well received by friends.

    I added more garlic and halved the mix as when I followed recipe it was thicker than I like. Very quick and tasty though!

    Great recipe, used olive oil infused with garlic to really give it that extra bit of flavour.

    very easy to make and lends itself to being adapted to include other flavourings, added fresh chopped chillis instead of thyme. very tasty!

    This recipe is wonderful! I perhaps used a bit more garlic butter than suggested, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and it was gorgeous. My boyfriend doesn't like garlic bread, but I had to fight him for the last slice! Brilliant! Thank you!

    made this last night to go with my lasagne. i kneaded it for 10min, then followed as stated above, however was slightly low on cheddar so added some parmesan as well. couldn't taste the garlic at all after it had baked, so will try either adding more garlic, or maybe putting some garlic in the actual dough - just tasted like cheesy bread. have frozen the half we didnt eat to see if freezes ok. check out my baking blog http://bumblebakery.blogspot.com/

    Wow, I love this recipe... it's so much easier than I thought it would be! I added more garlic and cheese (as others suggested) and it turned out great. Will definitely bake again :)

    Has anyone tried freezing the dough before baking, if so at what stage did you do so? Many thanks
