Delicious homemade bread, smothered with garlic and herb spread.
Preheat oven to 200°C/ gas mark 6. Grease 2 20cm round tins with Pure spread.
Sift the flour into a large bowl, and rub in the Pure spread. Stir in the yeast, add the water and mix to a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Use extra flour to prevent it from going sticky. Place in a large plastic bag greased with a knob of Pure spread. Tie the end of the bag and set aside in a warm place to rise. It should double in bulk.
Flatten the dough evenly between the two tins and spread with the garlic topping. Cover with cling film and leave to rise for 45 minutes.
Press the tops of the bread with your thumb and scatter with thin slivers of fresh garlic. Season to taste. Bake for 20 minutes or until light golden colour.
To make the topping, mix the Pure spread, parsley, crushed garlic, salt, garlic granules and black pepper in a bowl. Knead the dough again and divide into two.
