## Ingredients

- 225 ml milk
- 30 gm sugar
- 1.5 tsp instant dry yeast
- 300 gm bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 20 gm unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp garlic paste
- 1 chopped parsley
- 50 gm unsalted butter
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 salt
- 250 gm cheese

## Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix 225 ml of room temperature milk, 30 gm of sugar, and 1.5 tsp of instant dry yeast. Set aside.
2. Sift 300 gm of bread flour into another bowl. Add 1 tsp of salt and mix well.
3. Slowly pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and combine using a dough hook.
4. Transfer the sticky dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 3–4 minutes. Add 20 gm of softened butter and continue kneading for 15 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and passes the windowpane test.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for one hour. If your kitchen is cold, use a switched-off oven or microwave with a cup of hot water to help the dough rise.
6. Prepare the garlic butter mixture by combining 2 tbsp of garlic paste, 50 gm of softened butter, 1 tsp of chilli flakes, chopped parsley, and salt to taste.
7. Punch down the risen dough to release air and roll it into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
8. Spread the garlic butter evenly over the dough, leaving no empty spots. Generously sprinkle with 250 gm of cheese (cubed and shredded).
9. Cut the dough into 10 strips, stack them and arrange in a loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another hour.
10. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Before baking, brush the top with extra garlic butter.
11. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
