Camembert And Garlic Dough Balls Recipe By Tasty

BACON AND CAMEMBERT PULL-APART GARLIC BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Slice the camembert into thick matchsticks.
• Make deep, thick slits into the bread without cutting all the way through, about 90% down is good.
• Rotate the bread 90° and make more cuts, 90% through again, creating little sticks of bread that are all held together by the crust at the bottom.
• Combine the butter, parsley and garlic.
• Stuff camembert in between the bread sticks.
• Drop the cooked bacon bits over the bread, pushing some of them down into the cracks.
• Drizzle butter evenly over the bread.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes until the camembert is melted and the top of the bread is crusty.
• Enjoy!

DOUGH BALLS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Warm 175ml water in a saucepan until steaming, then add the butter and set aside to cool until warm but not hot. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl or tabletop mixer. Add the cooled water and mix to make a soft dough. Knead for 10 mins by hand, or for 5 mins in a mixer, until the dough feels bouncy and smooth. Return to a clean, oiled bowl and cover with oiled cling film. Leave somewhere warm to rise for 1½-2 hrs, or until doubled in size.
• Oil a baking sheet. Knock the air out of the dough and knead again for several mins. Take a small piece of dough (about the size of a walnut) and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the dough balls about ½ cm apart. Cover and leave to rise for 30 mins. Meanwhile, to make the garlic butter, melt the butter in a pan, then stir in the garlic. Season.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. The dough balls should be almost touching by now. Bake for 25-30 mins until cooked through. Brush with some of the garlic butter and leave to cool for 5 mins. Serve with the remaining garlic butter and a selection of crudités and cured meat, if you like.

CAMEMBERT AND ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the garlic cut side down in a large roasting pan. Add the butter, oil, a pinch of salt, a couple of twists of black pepper, the honey, rosemary, and bay leaves and bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes. After 30 to 35 minutes, put a large cross in the top of the Camembert and add it to the oven. Make sure the plastic covering and lid is removed, but it is still in its cardboard box. Add the French baguette to warm up too.
• Once the garlic is soft, the bread is extra crunchy, and the cheese is all soft and gooey, remove from the oven.
• Serve everything on a big sharing plate. Break off a piece of crusty bread, then squeeze out the tender flesh of the garlic along with a healthy dose of cheese and smear it liberally over the bread.
• Serve with a chutney or relish and a good glass of red wine.
