You may initially look at the picture and think what on earth is that!!!!! Well, lets break it down. Traditionally many of us serve our pasta with garlic bread. Yes it is exciting because we use the bread to catch the extra sauce and add abit more garlic to our some what tender pasta dish. But, here is the game changer put it all together and what do you end up with???? Well, a very tasty pasta loaf. Ofcourse you can use any sort of pasta and any sauce you like, the only real part to this recipe is making the bread. Which is what I will share with you...
I have decided to go the picture format again, as this really simplifies recipes into 5 minute shots and gives you the chance to get on to more things than just being stuck in the kitchen all day.
All you will need, is 2 Cups of flour, 250ml warm water, 7g dry yeast (mix with the 250ml warm water), Garlic salt (add as much as you like depending on how strong you want it) and italian herbs. Add flour to a mixing bowl with all the ingredients and mix until a dough is formed. Let it rest in a warm area for 2 hours until it doubles in size. During this time you can cook your pasta and get your sauce ready... Once this is done I rolled out the dough to cover a rectangle pan. I used melted butter and freshly crushed garlic to spread on the base and than topped with pasta and parmesan cheese. Cut the edges so that you can fold the bread across to leave pieces of the pasta exposed. This is great because when the cheese starts to melt you will see crispy pockets form between the bread. I placed this in a preheated oven at 190 degrees for approx 30 - 45 minutes until bread is cooked through and crispy. You are more than welcome to use an egg wash to assist in browning the bread, I however had quite abit of melted butter and crushed garlic so I used that instead. Enjoy, enjoy enjoy. :) CC
