"I do not generally like to bake, can’t be bothered with exact measurements and temperatures and so on. BUT, I do love to make bread. I am always trying new things and never take the time to write down exactly what I did, and then I regret not doing so when it turns out to be a great loaf. Well this time I took the time to write down the measurements and happy I did as this is one of my favourites. I make it into buns but you can easily make it into a loaf instead! You can also add a bit of shredded cheese as a topping if desired."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

With a mortar and pestle, crush the salt and garlic cloves together until a paste is formed; set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together 1 3/4 cups of the flour, yeast and parmesan cheese; make a well in the middle.

Step 3

In a smaller bowl or measuring cup mix together the water, sugar and garlic/salt paste until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 4

Pour this mixture into the well.

Step 5

Mix with a wooden spoon until dough holds together adding the remaining flour if needed and transfer onto a well floured surface.

Step 6

Knead until smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed (may not need extra flour depending on temperature and altitude) about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Grease your hands with bacon drippings and rub lightly to coat dough.

Step 8

Grease a glass or non-reactive bowl with bacon drippings and place dough in bowl; cover with a clean tea towel and allow rising in a warm draft free place for 1 1/2 hours, until doubled in size (I place mine inside my oven with the light on).

Step 9

Remove from bowl onto a slightly floured surface and punch out the dough to allow the air bubbles to disappear.

Step 10

Return to covered bowl for another hour.

Step 11

Return dough to slightly floured surface and punch out dough once again.

Step 12

If making buns: cut dough into even bun portions and place on a greased baking pan, allowing enough space for the buns to rise; cover and let rise for 2 hours.

Step 13

Remove towel and bake buns in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes on middle rack then move up to top rack for another 5 to 7 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 14

If making a loaf: form dough into a loaf and place it into a greased loaf pan; cover and let rise for 2 hours.

Step 15

Remove tea towel and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, until golden brown.

I haven't baked with yeast for a while I thought I lost touch but this turned out well for me, I used butter instead of bacon grease only because I didn't have any around at the time I made these next time I make bacon I'll save some of the grease to use for this recipe, thank you QueenBea, I love your buns!

The flavour of this bread is pungent with garlic & cheese! The fragrance when making and baking is mouthwatering! Fast and easy to put together. I did find that for our altitude and weather that the dough did not require the full amount of for the risings. This is going to be pared with homemade soup tonight! Thanks Bea for this real taste treat! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
