Mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add flour, salt, butter (or oil), milk, garlic, oregano, and chilli flakes.
Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough is soft, smooth, and slightly elastic. You can stretch the dough as you knead to develop some gluten.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (60–90 minutes).
Mix melted butter, garlic, oregano, chilli flakes, and salt. Set aside.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a rectangle or oval.
Spread a thin layer of garlic butter inside.
Add cheese and fillings evenly.
Fold, seal edges tightly, and place on a baking tray.
Score the top into pieces lightly with a sharp knife and brush with garlic butter.
Rest shaped loaves for 20–30 minutes until slightly puffy.
Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and baked through.
Brush hot bread with extra garlic butter. Cool briefly, slice, and serve warm.
Keep the dough slightly tacky to achieve a soft, airy crumb. Avoid adding extra flour.
Minimize garlic in the dough to protect yeast activity and ensure a better rise.
Use milk in the dough and brush with butter after baking to prevent dryness.
For an extra garlic aroma, use roasted garlic instead of raw.
Bake on a preheated tray greased or parchment-lined with a sprinkle of cornmeal for a crispier base.
you may also use stand mixer to knead the dough.
Can I use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

What other fillings can I use?
You can use sautéed veggies, sweet corn, olives, or even cooked chicken as fillings. Customize it to your preference.
How do I store leftover garlic bread?
Store leftover garlic bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, substitute milk with a plant-based alternative, butter with vegan butter or olive oil, and use vegan cheese for the stuffing.
