Ingredients
For the Dough:
1 cup warm water
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp instant dry yeast
2 cups maida (all-purpose flour)
2 tbsp milk powder
1 tsp garlic, crushed
1 tsp mixed herbs
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
For Garlic Butter:
4 tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp garlic, crushed
½ tsp mixed herbs
½ tsp chili flakes
For Stuffing:
Cheese (as desired)
Sweet corn
Chili flakes
Preparation
Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and instant dry yeast. Mix well and let it sit until the yeast activates.
Make the Dough: Add maida, milk powder, crushed garlic, mixed herbs, salt, and oil to the yeast mixture. Knead into a smooth, soft dough, adding water as needed. Cover and let it rest for 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Prepare Garlic Butter: Mix softened butter, crushed garlic, mixed herbs, and chili flakes in a bowl. Set aside.
Shape the Dough: Once the dough has rested, punch it down and knead lightly. Take a ball-sized portion, flatten it, and place it on a plate that fits your pressure cooker.
Add Toppings: Spread the garlic butter generously over the dough. Top with cheese, sweet corn, and a sprinkle of chili flakes. Fold the dough in half and seal the edges. Use a knife to mark thick strips on top and spread a little more garlic butter.
Cook in Pressure Cooker: Place the prepared bread in the preheated cooker. Cover and cook on medium flame for 20–25 minutes.
Serve: Brush with remaining garlic butter and serve hot. Enjoy the gooey, cheesy, aromatic bread straight from your cooker!
Tips for Perfect Cheesy Garlic Bread
