Imagine the aroma of freshly baked bread with a rich, cheesy, garlicky flavor that pairs perfectly with any dish or can stand on its own as a gastronomic masterpiece. To create this perfect fluffy cheesy garlic bread, it’s important not only to follow the right technique, but also to use quality kitchen tools.
Secret 1: Perfect dough
The key to fluffiness is proper kneading. Use a KitchenAid stand mixer(https://amzn.to/4grkLyE) which distributes ingredients evenly and saves you time. Thanks to the powerful motor and special attachments, the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Secret 2: Proper fermentation
Give the dough enough time to rise. For this, you will need a proofing bowl with a lid, which retains optimal moisture and heat, creating the perfect environment for fermentation.
Secret 3: Flavorful garlic and gooey cheese
For evenly crushed garlic, use the OXO Good Grips garlic press(https://amzn.to/4aM0YZV). This will give you rich flavor without the hassle. And for grating cheese, a Microplane is perfect, creating airy, light shavings that melt evenly.
Secret 4: Perfect Shape and Baking
Bake your bread in a Lodge cast iron bread pan(https://amzn.to/40Lxtmk). Cast iron distributes heat evenly, creating a crisp crust and a soft, airy crumb. Also, don’t forget a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Secret 5: Finishing Touches
After baking, brush the bread with melted butter, fresh garlic, and herbs using a Wilton silicone brush. This will add flavor and make the crust even more delicious.
Make your cheesy garlic bread the star of any table. And remember: quality tools are the key to culinary success!
