How To Make Stuffed Garlic Bread At Home?

The recipe is divided into three parts:

• Whole Wheat Bread
  
• Inside Filling
  
• Assembling

Ingredients For The Whole Wheat Bread:

• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 Clove Minced Garlic

For Making Whole Wheat Bread:

Here are easy and simple steps for a garlic bread recipe:

• In a small bowl, mix warm water with honey and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  
• Now, in a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  
• Now, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-2 hours, or until it becomes double in size.

Ingredients For The Filling:

• 2 cups finely chopped spinach
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Making The Filling

• In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, low-fat cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Additionally, mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure a well-blended and flavorful mixture.

Assembling Of Stuffed Garlic Bread

Here are the final steps for assembling the recipe:

• Firstly, In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over low heat. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant. And keep it aside.
  
• Now, Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  
• Divide the risen dough into two equal halves by pressing it down. Subsequently, roll out each half to make a about 12-by-8-inch rectangle.
  
• Spread the filling evenly over one of the rolled-out dough rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges. Following that, place the second dough rectangle on top and press the edges to seal.
  
• Now, Brush the garlic-infused olive oil evenly over the inside of both halves of the bread.
  
• The stuffed bread should be put on a parchment paper-lined baking pan. The bread should be baked for 20-25 minutes in a preheated oven, or until it is golden brown and hollow to the touch.
  
• Take it out of the oven and give it a few minutes to cool down before slicing it into individual servings.

Tips: To get more protein, you can choose to put your favorite vegetables or chicken in the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
