I don’t usually have the urge to bake something, because I am not big in baking.

However, when I spotted Lauren’s Latest Hasselback Cheesy Garlic Bread on Pinterest (please follow my boards), I immediately saved the recipe.

The next day, I went to the market and got all the ingredients and made these most amazing, cheesy, garlicky, and yummy garlic cheesy bread.

They were so good that my picky eater 3-year old ate all three of them as his afternoon snack, supper, and breakfast the next morning.

And he asked me to make more!

Easy and delicious homemade Hasselback garlic cheesy bread.

You might think that this garlic cheesy bread is hard to make, but you’re wrong.

It’s actually quite easy, but it does take some time because of the proofing of the bread dough.

But that means, in between the active time, you can grab a cup of coffee or iced tea, head out to your patio or backyard, just chill out, read a magazine, and soak up the warm summer weather out there.

That was exactly what I did when I made the bread.

To make this cheesy bread, I also made some homemade garlic herb butter, which I used it for this recipe, and saved some for my pasta.

It was fun making everything from scratch and I did feel a great sense of accomplishment when the bread came out from the oven.

The smell of garlic, cheese, and warm bread filled my kitchen and home.

I sank my teeth into the warm, fluffy, soft, and cheesy bread, and felt so contented especially when my son enjoyed my hard labor of homemade bread so much.

If you don’t want to make the bread dough from scratch, you can easily cheat with store-bought frozen bread dough for a quick fix.

Try it, I am sure you will love this recipe.

Ingredients  

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1/3 pound (151g) sharp yellow cheddar cheese , or any other cheese you prefer, shredded
  • 3/4 cup garlic herb butter, melted
  • olive oil, for greasing surfaces

Instructions 

  • Attach the dough hook to your mixer. Add warm water, yeast, and honey, and stir at low speed for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy. Then, gradually stir in the salt and the flour, adding it in 1/4 cup increments.
  • Once the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and looks relatively clean, let the machine knead the dough for an additional 5 minutes. It should feel slightly sticky but should not leave any residue on your fingers when you poke it.
  • Grease the bowl and the dough, then cover everything with a towel and let it rise for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. Divide the dough into 6 to 8 smaller portions and shape them into long baguettes the length of the cookie sheet. Twist each piece of dough to maintain its length and prevent shrinking. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Start by preheating the oven to 400°F (204°C) and placing the dough close to the oven where it's warm. Once the oven is preheated, remove the plastic wrap from the dough, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (176°C), and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the loaves of bread from the oven after 20 minutes and brush them with the melted garlic herb butter. Return the loaves to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Cut 1-inch (2.5 cm) slices three-quarters of the way through the loaves. Brush garlic butter in between each slice and fill with cheese. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted. Serve immediately.

    Hi….I am a great fan of your blog. Just wanted to know if we could substitute regular all purpose flour for bread flour and what adjustments we might have to make? We dont get bread flour where we live. Thanks

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      You can try I think it should work, bread flour has higher gluten.

      1. John says:

        You can add 1 tsp Vital Wheat Gluten for each cup of all-purpose flour and you have Bread flour.

  10. Nadia says:

    I love garlic cheese bread. They tasted awesome! Looking forward to make this tonight. Hope they’ll turn out to be excellent as yours. Of course, I wanna try making it from scratch. Thanks!
