I believe it's best to weigh your ingredient in grams as it is much more accurate.

Recipe:

300g Room temperature water
10g Sea salt
8g Instant dried yeast
15g Olive oil
400g White flour (I used a strong flour but you don’t need a high protein content)
In a bowl combine the water and salt and then stir to dissolve. Add the yeast, olive oil and flour. Give everything a quick mix with a spoon and then using your hand combine the ingredients so the flour has been well combined with the water.

Leave to rest covered at room temp for 30 minutes. Then knead the dough through a few times to make sure everything is properly combined. Oil your bowl and pop the dough back inside, cover tightly with a plastic bag. This will now rest in the fridge overnight.

The next day you can oil your tray and tip the dough out on to it. Gently pull the dough out towards the edge of the tray. You can also push the dough out too, but make sure you work from the centre. If the dough gets stiff don’t fight it. Cover it with a plastic bag for 10 minutes and then repeat the process.

Leave to proof (mine took 1 hour and my kitchen temp was 18c) until risen and springy to the touch.

100g Unsalted butter
4 large cloves of garlic
300g grated mozzarella

Melt the butter gently, add the finely grated garlic to the butter and leave to infuse for five minutes on low heat on the stove (the lowest setting).

Brush the garlic butter over the dough and then top with the grated cheese. Make sure you bank the cheese up the side of the tray. Season with salt, pepper and dried oregano.

Bake in an oven that’s been pre-heated to 220c / 430f for 15 minutes. Ideally bake on a baking stone or steel. If you don’t have one then you may need to extend the cooking time a little. The garlic cheese bread is ready when its golden and bubbling on the top and cheese around the edge has started to brown well.

Enjoy!

Activating the yeast:

My instant yeast doesn’t require any activation. Some people have commented that their yeast brand directs them to do this. If this is the case you can follow the guiltiness and use some of the 300 grams of water to activate.
