Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 10 grams Active dry yeast
- 10 grams Salt
- 50 milliliters Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 15 grams Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 75 grams Grana Padano cheese (grated)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together. Then transfer it to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic-parsley-cheese mixture. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated Grana Padano cheese. Mix well and set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Roll it out into a rectangle about 2 cm thick.
Sprinkle the garlic-parsley-cheese mixture evenly over the dough, then roll the dough tightly into a log starting from the shorter side.
Place the rolled dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, seam side down. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve as canapé bases or enjoy as is.
