pullapart type loaf

[baf65]

THis is a recipe given to me at a class attended recently, so thanks to Elisabeth the demonstrator

750g Bakers Flour
450g lukewarm water
15g yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
5 tbs oil

Filling - 120g herb butter (you can use herbs, garlic, sundried tomatoes, whatever takes your fancy mix in with the butter)

Prepare yeast dough and leave to rise
Roll dough out into a big rectangle
Spread butter over the dough
Cut rectangle in half widthways then cut 3-4cm wide strips lengthways
Fold strips into a concertina and arrange in a springform tin (lined with baking paper on the bottom)
Bake at 180c for 40-45mins (you can put straight into a cold oven without proving again or you can leave to rise and then put into warm oven)

I also tried this with some grated cheese scattered over the dough
I would put up a picture but I dont know how!!!!

Great to see you here.  The loaf sounds great. 

I'll tell you what I do with pics.

You need to set up an account like flickr http://www.flickr.com/ or Photobucket photobucket.com or set up a blog!!! 

Then you can save them from your computer to these facilities.

Once they are in there you can resize them etc and then you can usually right click on the phot and find properties - copy the address (URL) and then in the body of the message you can Insert Image (second icon in middle row) and hit paste.  The URL should appear between the [ img ]  [ /img ] characters. Then check with Preview.  If you like it you can then Post.

Hope that makes sense.

brazen, i just saw your blog...looiks good...olives a good idea !  and yes i forgot to say brush with milk!
isnt it such an impressive loaf to take along to a morning tea!!
i made one last week with just home made TM butter and herbs and have to say it tasted a little bland, i think it def needs some cheese to add some saltiness

Your pics look EXCELLENT...better than the one we made at HQ

I saw this at a class too and have made it a couple of times. I make it in a big baking tray, coz I didn't have a big springform. It worked really well. I'm going to try and make it with some toppings as well. Actually, I often make cinnamon buns and this would be a great way to do it! (Just thought of it then!) Brush the dough with melted butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, fold and put in the pan. Drizzle white icing over the top while its still warm... mmmm... I think I might go and try that right now!

What a brilliant idea Cathy.  I often make the pull apart bread as we really like it. Will try as cinnamon. Thanks

Great idea, I get sucked in by the smell around Cinnabon ?? shops, but am not big on cakes anyhow, so manage to quietly walk away without buying them.

I did make it. It's pretty nice. After I sprinkled the brown sugar on the butter, I gave it a gentle pat/rub to stick to the butter and not fall off when I folded it.

Oh, another tip. I use a pizza cutter to cut the strips. Its so fast and easy!

Yet another great idea - good work!!!

Another adaption - I smeared chilli feta all over it and tossed around a few olives. This loaf was really tasty and moist. The chilli wasn't that strong (not as eye watering as when I tasted it at the cheese place.. that put me off the chilli feta, but dh really liked it so we bought some).

I made the chilli feta one and a garlic one for a bbq lunch on Sunday. People's interest perked up greatly when they realised I made it  It must have tasted so much better after that news
