Garlic bread is one of the kids favorite recipe next to Pizza. They are quite common to have as side for Pizza. They are also popular in Dominos restaurant which is well known for their Pizzas. This is my first attempt of homemade Garlic Bread.
Everyone liked it in our house especially my kids. This recipe is made with All purpose flour. I thought of making it with whole wheat flour. But since it was my first attempt, decided to make it with half wheat and half Maida.
There is no compromise in taste. The Hero of the recipe is the Cheese. So be generous in adding Cheese. The final taste comes from the amount of cheese we use. You may use Mozzarella in grated form. This cheese gives the expandable texture as in restaurants.
The recipe is so simple. Only the dough proofing time requires some time. Other than that, the baking time is around 12 mins. So let’s see this recipe in detail.
