Garlic bread with garlic dip

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Hello everyone, today I have a new recipe for you, a so-called crowd pleaser: Garlic bread with garlic dip. The bread is sure to be the hit at the next party, because it doesn’t only look great, it's also fun to eat. And it will surely delight the old and the young with its fine garlic flavor. I created the recipe for the new Knorr garlic flakes. They match perfectly, because besides garlic they also contain spices like thyme, rosemary and marjoram. And just like the other spices of the new Knorr Switzerland* line, they are made from natural ingredients and without added salt.

This time I baked the bread myself, it’s a simple spelt bread baked in a cast iron pot - we like that very much. But you can also easily use a store bought bread for the recipe. The bread is cut crosswise, soaked in a mixture of garlic, spices and butter/margarine and filled with mozzarella. Then baked in the oven and the pulling and dipping can begin. I can promise you, the bread will surely be the hit as your next starter course or your party or the next bbq.

Ingredients

Bread:

• 500 gr 4 cups spelt flour
• 1 packet 9 gr (0.3 oz.) dried yeast
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 370 ml 1 ½ cups water
• 1 tsp maple sirup

Filling:

• 150-200 gr 5-7 oz. vegan mozzarella
• 100 gr 1/2 cup vegan butter/margarine
• 3 tsp Knorr garlic
• 3-4 twigs fresh thyme
• 1/2 tsp salt

Dip:

• 100 gr 3.5 oz. vegan curd
• 100 gr 3.5 oz. vegan sour cream
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 2 tsp Knorr garlic
• 1 fresh garlic clove optional
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp maple sirup
• Pinch of pepper
• 4-5 twigs fresh thyme

Instructions

Bread:

• Knead all ingredients into a smooth dough, put it in a bowl and allow it to rise for 3-4 hours (or even overnight in the fridge)
• Place the dough on a floured surface and form it into a loaf
• If you bake your bread in a roaster (cocotte), preheat it in the oven (on max. temperature) and then place the bread inside
• Bake with closed lid for 30 minutes and an additional 5-10 minutes without the lid
• You can also bake the bread on a baking tray, slightly slice the top part and bake for 30-40 minutes at 220°C (428°F)
• Let it cool off

Filling:

• Wash the thyme twigs and pick the leaves off the twigs
• Melt the butter/margarine and add all other ingredients
• Cut the mozzarella in slices
• Slice the bread crosswise and then put the filling inside the slices equally
• Put the mozzarella into the slices
• Coat the whole bread with the filling and sprinkle some more thyme and Knorr garlic flakes on it if you like
• Wrap it into an oven-proof foil or baking paper and bake for 15 minutes at 200°C (392°F), unwrap it and bake for an additional 5 minutes
• Serve it hot!

Dip:

• Wash the thyme twigs and pick the leaves off the twigs
• Mix all ingredients well
• Press the garlic clove into the dip (optional)
• Season with salt and pepper

Don’t be too frugal with the filling, the bread is especially delicious when the garlic is really nice in every corner. And the mozzarella made from cashews melts very well and makes the bread extra fine. Everyone can pick and choose a piece of bread to their liking. A perfect side dish is a light salad and of course the garlic dip.

The fresh thyme gives the garlic bread a delicious flavor, but rosemary would also fit very well. The garlic bread and the dip are a great side dish for the summer and all your BBQ parties. It's sure to become an integral part of our BBQ repertoire, it's just irresistible. The garlic dip was so delicious with the bread. You can add a fresh garlic clove to it, so the dip is a little more intense and more spicy.

The bread was also very well received by our children, who of course thought it was great to pluck with their fingers and had a lot of fun eating with our guests! I'm sure your family will be just as excited!
