## 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
- 0 chopped parsley
- 50 gm unsalted butter
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 0 salt
- 150 gm mozzarella cheese
- 100 gm cheddar cheese

## Instructions

1. Prepare the yeast mixture by adding room temperature milk, sugar, and yeast. Mix well and set aside. If using active dry yeast, activate it before use.
2. In a separate bowl, sift bread flour (or use all-purpose flour with slightly less liquid). Add salt and mix.
3. Slowly pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes, then add softened butter and knead for another 15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Do the windowpane test to check the elasticity.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour. For cold kitchens, proof it in a switched-off oven or microwave with a cup of hot water.
6. Prepare the garlic butter mixture: mix garlic paste, softened butter, chili flakes, chopped parsley, and salt.
7. Punch down the risen dough, roll it out evenly, and spread the garlic butter mixture over the surface.
8. Generously sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the garlic butter.
9. Cut the dough into strips, stack them, and place them in a prepared loaf pan.
10. Let the assembled dough proof for another hour.
11. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the top of the dough with extra garlic butter.
12. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
