## Ingredients

- 225 ml milk
- 30 gm sugar
- 4.5 gm instant dry yeast
- 300 gm bread flour
- 5 gm salt
- 20 gm unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp garlic paste
- 1 handful chopped parsley
- 50 gm unsalted butter
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 to taste salt
- 150 gm mozzarella cheese
- 100 gm cheddar cheese

## Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix room temperature milk, sugar, and instant dry yeast. Set aside. If using active dry yeast, activate it first.
2. Sift bread flour into a bowl. Add salt and mix well.
3. Slowly pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix until combined.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes. Add softened butter and continue kneading for 15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Perform the windowpane test.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for an hour. If the kitchen is cold, place the bowl in a switched-off oven or microwave with a cup of hot water to create a warm, humid environment.
6. Mix garlic paste, 50g softened butter, chili flakes (optional), chopped parsley, and salt for the garlic butter mixture.
7. Punch down the risen dough to release air and roll it out into a rectangle.
8. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the dough. Generously top with diced and shredded cheese.
9. Cut the dough into strips, stack them, and place them into a loaf pan. Cover and let proof for another hour.
10. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the top of the dough with extra garlic butter.
11. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
