Ingredients
Dough Balls
- 260 g (2 cups) strong white bread flour
- 7 g (1 packet) rapid rise yeast
- 1 ½ tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 120 ml (½ cup) water slightly warm
- 2 tbsp olive oil plus extra for the bowl
Garlic Butter
- 115 g (½ cup) unsalted butter softened
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Measure the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the yeast, sugar and salt and stir to combine. Pour the water and olive oil into the bowl.
- Mix with an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Beat until the dough forms a ball around the hook. Alternatively knead by hand.
- Drizzle a little oil into the bowl and turn the dough to coat in the oil. Cover with a clean cloth and place someplace warm to rise until doubled. This can take 1-1 ½ hours, depending on the temperature in your kitchen.
- Punch the dough down to deflate and turn out onto your worktop. Briefly knead and then pinch out small balls between your fingers or divide into 12 pieces.
- Roll the dough between your hands to form a smooth ball and repeat until you have 12 dough balls.
- Place on a lined baking sheet, spaced apart, and rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake until the dough balls are risen and golden 12-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile prepare the garlic butter. Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix together with a spoon.
- Brush the garlic butter over the warm dough balls and sever them with the garlic butter dip.
