Method

For Garlic Dough Recipe:

  1. Firstly, take warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Rest for 10 minutes in a warm place. After 10 minutes, yeast is activated. (*You will start seeing tiny bubbles)
  2. Furthermore, add oil, butter, maida (all-purpose flour), and salt. Butter is optional here.
  3. Then add minced garlic, oregano, and red chili flakes. Knead the dough well for at least 10 minutes (to activate gluten). You can add 1-2 tablespoons of extra water if the dough is too tight. Make the dough smooth and stretchy; otherwise garlic bread will turn hard and chewy.
  4. Allow the dough for proofing. Lightly smear some oil on the dough. Cover it with a tea towel or cling wrap and let it proof for 2 hours in a warm place. OR You can use an Instant Pot to proof the dough. Smear the inner pot with some oil and place the dough. Close the lid, select the 'YOGURT' button, set the pressure value to 'Sealing,' and set the timer to 1 hour. After 1 hour, the dough should have doubled in size, then punch the dough.

For Garlic Butter Recipe:

  1. Mix in melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley or coriander leaves in a small bowl. Keep it aside.

For Stuffed Garlic Bread Recipe:

  1. Sprinkle some cornmeal (also known as "makki ka atta" in Hindi) on a flat surface to give the dough a crunchy outer coating. Then, roll the dough into a circle Note: Cornmeal is optional, but this is a secret ingredient used in Dominos to make garlic bread crust crispy.
  2. Meanwhile, line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease it with butter. Place the rolled dough circle onto the tray and generously spread the garlic butter over it.
  3. Further spread some mayonnaise, top with boiled sweet corn and mozzarella cheese on one half of the circle. Also, season with chili flakes and oregano on top.
  4. Fold the dough into a semicircle and seal the edges properly else the cheese will come out.
  5. Then brush a generous amount of prepared garlic butter on top along with some chili flakes and oregano seasoning.
  6. Mark the garlic bread into breadsticks without cutting them entirely.
  7. Bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius (365 °F) for 20-25 minutes or until you have a nice golden brown color.
  8. Cut the stuffed garlic bread into breadsticks when hot. Serve hot with mayonnaise or cream cheese, or garlic dipping.
