Cheesy Garlic Bread
Print Recipe

This cheesy garlic bread is a soft, flavorful Dominos-style appetizer made entirely without an oven. It’s stuffed with cheese and sweet corn, slathered in garlic butter, and cooked to golden perfection in a pressure cooker.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp instant dry yeast
  • 2 cups maida (all-purpose flour)
  • 2 tbsp milk powder
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 4 tbsp softened butter
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic (for garlic butter)
  • 1/2 tsp mixed herbs (for garlic butter)
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
  • Cheese (as needed, for stuffing)
  • Sweet corn (as needed, for stuffing)
  • Extra chilli flakes (optional, for stuffing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix 1 cup warm water, 2 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp instant dry yeast. Let it activate for 10 minutes.
  2. Add 2 cups maida, 2 tbsp milk powder, 1 tsp garlic, 1 tsp mixed herbs, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp oil. Mix and knead into a smooth dough.
  3. Cover and rest the dough for 2 hours until it doubles in size.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix 4 tbsp softened butter with 1 tsp garlic, 1/2 tsp herbs, and 1/2 tsp chilli flakes to make garlic butter.
  5. Punch the risen dough and knead slightly. Pinch a ball-sized portion and flatten it to fit the base of your cooker.
  6. Spread garlic butter generously on the dough. Add cheese, sweet corn, and extra chilli flakes.
  7. Fold the dough in half and seal the edges. Score the top into strips using a knife. Spread more garlic butter on top.
  8. Preheat a pressure cooker without the whistle for 10 minutes.
  9. Place the shaped bread on a greased plate or rack inside the cooker. Cover and cook on medium heat for 25 minutes.
  10. Brush with remaining garlic butter and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra softness, ensure the dough is well-kneaded and fully proofed.
  • You can use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan.
  • This recipe can be baked in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
  • Sweet corn can be swapped for olives or bell peppers.
  • Use plant-based butter and vegan cheese for a vegan version.
