Garlic Cheese Bread

   Life is better when there's melty cheese involved, right? I found this recipe on Teo's Kitchen - https://goo.gl/n9Zax9 and I played around with my own ingredients. Oliver and I baked our own buns yesterday using a new type of whole wheat flour from Lidl and they turned out soooo tasty that I really wanted to use them in a delicious recipe. So here's what I used:

Ingredients:
Home made buns (4):
- 300g Belbake Farmhouse bread mix from LIDL (of course :D) or any type of whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp fresh or dried yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- a pinch of sugar
- warm water

Filling for each bun:
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp olive oil or sunflower oil
- a pinch of salt and pepper
- Kamis specialty spices: sundried tomatoes, garlic and basil
- 75g of Valley Spire Cheddar from LIDL or any type of good cheddar

Steps:

1. Make the buns: put the flour in a bowl, make a well in the centre and put the yeast, a bit of flour, around a Tbsp of warm water and the pinch of sugar. Mix everything well and let it rise for about 10 min near a source of heat. 

2. After 10 min or when you can tell it rose, start mixing the rest of the flour in the bowl with the yeast in the middle, adding the salt and some more warm water. Keep mixing and playing with it until you obtain a ball of dough that doesn't stick to your fingers. 

3. Divide that ball into 4 buns and put them in a tray covered with parchment paper near a source of heat. Let them rise until you can tell they became bigger (Time varies. It can be 10-15-20 min).

4. Brush some oil on the buns and add some sesame seeds on top (Optional). Bake the buns for about 14 min at 200ºC.

5. Let the buns cool down completely (preferably overnight) and then start preparing the filling. Grate the garlic cloves, then add the oil, salt, pepper and the Mediteranean spices altogether. Mix well.

6. Carefully cut the top of the bun, then scoop out the inside leaving around 1cm of bread around the edges. 

7. Brush the garlic mixture everywhere inside the bun then bake it for 8-10min at  200ºC.

8. Grate the cheddar, then when the time is up, take the bun out of the oven, stuff it with the grated cheddar and put it in the oven again for 8-10 min.

9. Enjoy the melty garlic bread hot! Dip the top of the bun in the cheese or simply cut the bun like a pizza and enjoy each mini slice :) Bon appetit!
