Ingredients
  

  • 21 g Easy bake dried yeast
  • 17 g granulated sugar (add to yeast to proof with yeast)
  • 60 ml Warm water
  • 250 ml Warm milk
  • 80 g Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 60 g melted butter
  • 800 g Self Raising Flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 50 ml lukewarm water to rinse out yeast mixture bowl

Toppings

  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 50 g butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 50 g Mature Cheddar Cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in lukewarm water. In a microwave, melt the butter.
  • Warm up the milk, add the 89g sugar, salt, and melted butter. They should be lukewarm.
  • Whisk the egg into the yeast mixture and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the flour and add the milk & yeast mixtures. Stir to combine well. Cover the dough and rest for 15 minutes.
  • Using a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough until the gluten is activated. The dough becomes elastic.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and use your hands to shape it into a ball.
  • Grease the bowl with butter and place the dough back in. Cover with a tea towel and place in a warm place for the dough to rise until double in size.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface without knocking out the air. Divide it into small balls of equal size. Roll out each ball into an oblong shape and tie each into a knot. Place the knotted dough on a lined tray.
  • Cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  • Prepare the garlic-coriander butter by adding the minced garlic to the melted butter.
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, brush the dough with the butter mixture generously ensuring that it has enough garlic on the surface.
  • Sprinkle the tops with the mature cheddar cheese followed by the coriander.
  • Bake in the preheated about 20 minutes until it’s golden brown.
  • Serve warm and enjoy with a bowl of soup.
