Domino’s Garlic Bread

Recipe for 4 Garlic Bread sticks
INGREDIENTS:
500 gms all-purpose flour
4 – 5 gms active dry yeast (half sachet)
1.5 cup Luke warm water
1 Tbsp. sugar
4 – 5 cloves of garlic (mid-size)
4 Tbsp. olive oil (60 gms)
2 Tbsp. butter (30 gms)
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. Oregano Seasoning (even more if you like)

To make dough:
ADD:
½ cup all-purpose flour
3.5-4 gms (1/2 sachet yeast)
1½-cup Luke warm water
1 Tbsp. sugar (15gms)
Let the yeast activate for 15 minutes.

Add:
2 – 2.5 cups all-purpose flour (Do not add all the flour together, add 1 cup first and combine the dough then add in 1-1.5 cups and try to make soft dough, knead the dough for 15 – 20 minutes and make smooth and stretchy dough)
2 Tbsp. olive oil (30 gms)
2 Tbsp. butter (30 gms)
3 med-size clove for a bread so 3*4=12 cloves
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. Oregano Seasoning
Knead the dough well for 15 minutes (to activate gluten)
Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil and kneed for 2 minutes more
Let the dough rest in refrigerator for 24 hours (very important)
                                                            
After 24 hours
Take dough out of refrigerator.
Cut it into 4 equal size balls and let it rest for 10 minutes
Sprinkle lots of corn meal (also known a polenta and “makki ka atta” in Hindi) on a flat surface (for outer crunchy coating).
Make a round shape and flip from 1 side to make a semi-circle, transfer the dough to a buttered and seasoned baking tray (Oregano Seasoning)
Cut the dough into bread sticks, brush with butter and drizzle a lot of Domino’s Oregano Seasoning

Finally bake in a preheated oven @ 180C for 8 minutes and again @ 220C for 4 – 5 minutes 
more or until you have a nice color.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
If your outcome is a bit dry things you can do:
1.Replace 1/2 cup Luke warm water with 1/2 cup milk (Full Fat)
2.Apply less corn meal and a little more butter
3.Cook for 8 minutes @ 180C and then again @ 220C for 4 -5 minutes.
