step by step

Method

  1. Make the dough

    • Combine the flour with the yeast, sugar, salt, sunflower oil and lukewarm water in a deep bowl.
    • Mix well and knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth.
    Step 1
  2. Let the dough rise

    • Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
    Step 2
  3. Roast the garlic

    • Trim the top of the garlic bulbs with a sharp knife, leaving most of the cloves exposed but keeping the bulbs intact.
    • Drizzle the garlic cloves with olive oil and distribute evenly.
    • Wrap each bulb in parchment paper and aluminum foil to prevent drying out.
    • Bake in a preheated oven at 240 °C for 15-20 minutes, then let the bulbs cool in the wrapping before unwrapping.
    Step 3
  4. Make the garlic butter

    • Squeeze the bottom of the garlic bulbs to release the cloves from the skin.
    • Place the cloves in a food processor with the butter, cayenne pepper, dried parsley, olive oil and Parmesan cheese.
    • Blend until smooth and creamy.
    Step 4
  5. Shape the rolls

    • Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape them into balls.
    • Roll a piece of dough flat with a rolling pin and spread some of the garlic mixture evenly over it.
    • Roll up the dough, firmly sealing the end with your fingertips, then shape it into a smooth loaf with the garlic mixture inside.
    • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush again with the garlic mixture.
    Step 5
  6. Second rise

    • Let the rolls rise in a warm place until they double in size.
    Step 6
  7. Cook the chicken

    • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the chicken, salt, ground cumin, onion powder and dried parsley to the pan.
    • Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
    Step 7
  8. Make the chicken salad

    • In a deep bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the sour cream.
    • Add the cooked chicken pieces and mix everything together.
    Step 8
  9. Bake the garlic bread

    • Bake the garlic bread in a preheated oven at 200 °C for 10-15 minutes, or until nicely brown, monitoring the baking time as ovens vary.
    • Immediately cover the rolls with a clean tea towel to keep them soft.
    Step 9
  10. Fill and serve

    • Slice open the garlic bread and fill with fresh vegetables and the chicken salad, or other ingredients of your choice.
