Camembert And Garlic Dough Balls Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Warm 175ml water in a saucepan until steaming, then add the butter and set aside to cool until warm but not hot. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl or tabletop mixer. Add the cooled water and mix to make a soft dough. Knead for 10 mins by hand, or for 5 mins in a mixer, until the dough feels bouncy and smooth. Return to a clean, oiled bowl and cover with oiled cling film. Leave somewhere warm to rise for 1½-2 hrs, or until doubled in size.
• Oil a baking sheet. Knock the air out of the dough and knead again for several mins. Take a small piece of dough (about the size of a walnut) and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the dough balls about ½ cm apart. Cover and leave to rise for 30 mins. Meanwhile, to make the garlic butter, melt the butter in a pan, then stir in the garlic. Season.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. The dough balls should be almost touching by now. Bake for 25-30 mins until cooked through. Brush with some of the garlic butter and leave to cool for 5 mins. Serve with the remaining garlic butter and a selection of crudités and cured meat, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Slice the camembert into thick matchsticks.
• Make deep, thick slits into the bread without cutting all the way through, about 90% down is good.
• Rotate the bread 90° and make more cuts, 90% through again, creating little sticks of bread that are all held together by the crust at the bottom.
• Combine the butter, parsley and garlic.
• Stuff camembert in between the bread sticks.
• Drop the cooked bacon bits over the bread, pushing some of them down into the cracks.
• Drizzle butter evenly over the bread.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes until the camembert is melted and the top of the bread is crusty.
• Enjoy!
