Weight Watchers Garlic Cheese Bread

Ingredients:

  • 70 ml warm water
  • 70 ml warm milk
  • 1 tsp dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted light butter (or use a light butter substitute)
  • 320g all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 60g softened light butter (or use a light butter substitute)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 60g mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tsp milk (for egg wash)
  • Poppy seeds (for sprinkling)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and warm milk.
  • Sprinkle the dry yeast and sugar over the liquid. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
  1. Make the Dough:
  • Add the egg and melted light butter to the yeast mixture and whisk to combine.
  • Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough begins to form.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  1. Prepare Garlic Butter:
  • In a small bowl, mix together the softened light butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and honey until well combined.
  1. Shape and Fill the Bread:
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle.
  • Spread the garlic butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long edge, to encase the filling.
  • Cut the roll into sections that will fit into a greased baking dish. Arrange the sections in the dish, cut side up.
  1. Final Touches:
  • Brush the tops of the dough with the egg yolk and milk mixture. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  • Allow the dough to rise for another 30 minutes in the baking dish.
  1. Bake:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  1. Serve:
  • Let the bread cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best experience.
