Garlic Pull-Apart Rolls (Eggless)

Yum

Ingredients:
Plain Flour      -    1 ½ cups              
Warm Water   -    ½ cup                 
Yeast               -    ½ tbsp.                 
Salt                  -    1 tsp.                    
Sugar               -    1 Tbsp.                 
Olive Oil         -     1 tbsp.                 

For Garlic Spread:

Salted butter, at room temperature   -  6 tbsp.   
Minced garlic                                    -  2 tbsp.  
freshly chopped parsley  or coriander leaves  - 2 tbsp.    

Method:

1. Mix flour, yeast, warm water, salt and sugar together in a bowl until you get a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
2. Add oil to your fingertips and knead(5 mins.) until the dough springs back when you press with your fingers.

1. Wrap a cling film over the bowl and allow to double by keeping in a warm place for about 45 mins. Meanwhile, make the garlic spread by simply mixing all the ingredients.
   
    
2. Grease a baking pan  with olive oil and set aside.
3. Knock down the air in the dough and divide the dough into two equal portions.
4. Transfer one portion of the dough to a floured surface and roll gently into a rough rectangle of 1/2" thickness. Apply more flour sparingly if sticky. 
5. Spread about 2 tbsp. of garlic spread on one side.
   
6. Roll from one end gently and firmly. 
7. Cut into half and then each half again into two halves to get 4 equal portions.(I wanted to fill my pan so I made smaller rolls)
   
8. Now place the rolls with the cut side up in the greased pan. Repeat the same procedure for the remaining dough. 
9. Brush a little milk or egg wash (refer notes)on the rolls and add the remaining garlic spread on top. 
10. Set aside and allow to rise for another 20 minutes. In the mean time preheat the oven to 180C / 375F.
11. Bake for about 30 mins until the top is golden brown.

         Serve Hot!!



Note:

• Egg wash is optional.
• Add more garlic if you like.
• You can reduce the amount of yeast to 1tsp. if you dont like the taste, but doing so increases the amount of rising time of the dough.
• When kneading the dough pour warm water little by little do get the desired consistency.(Most probably you wont be requiring 1/2 a cup of water, but it depends on the flour)
• If you desire a golden brown shiny finish to the rolls mix together lightly beaten egg yolk and a  little milk and brush on top of the rolls.
• If you want a matte finish just brush with milk.
