Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tbsp / 50g salted butter (unsalted + salt)
2 garlic cloves (, crushed)
2 cups / 200g grated cheddar cheese ((Note 1))
2 cups / 300g plain flour (all purpose flour)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda / bi-carb soda ((Note 2))
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg (large, about 60g / 2 oz) (, lightly whisked)
1 cup milk (full or low fat)
1/4 cup / 60 g sour cream ((or plain yoghurt))
1/3 cup / 85 ml vegetable oil ((or any plain oils, not olive oil))
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley ((Note 3))
1 garlic clove (, crushed)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan).
  • Place butter and garlic in a microwave proof bowl and melt in 30 second bursts. Mix.
  • Brush a 12 hole standard muffin tin generously with butter, being sure to slather with some garlic. Reserve some butter to brush tops.
  • Whisk Dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Whisk Wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
  • Pour Wet into the Dry ingredients bowl. Mix 8 times. Add cheese, mix as few times as possible just to incorporate remaining bits of flour - no more than 7 big stirs (secret to soft muffs).
  • Divide between 11 holes in muffin in (I use an ice cream scooper). Batter should be thick and fill muffin tin to top (if in ball shape due to scooper, leave as is). See video.
  • Bake for 22 - 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crusty and spring back when touched in the centre.
  • Remove onto cooling rack, brush with remaining butter (microwave again if needed) and cool slightly before getting stuck into them!

CHEESY GARLIC BABKA MUFFINS



Cheesy Garlic Babka Muffins image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 3h5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup lukewarm whole milk
One 1/4-ounce envelope active dry yeast
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes, at room temperature
Nonstick cooking spray, for the bowl and muffin tin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons red chile flakes
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
1 large egg
Flaky salt, for sprinkling
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the dough: Whisk together the warm milk, yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Allow to sit until it begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Turn the mixer to medium and add the salt and eggs. Mix until the eggs are incorporated. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, then reduce the speed to low and add the flour in batches, allowing the flour to fully incorporate with the dough between additions. Continue to mix until well combined. Add the butter in small pieces, allowing each addition to become fully incorporated before adding more. Turn the mixer to medium and let the mixer knead the dough for 10 minutes. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • For the filling: Spray a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a 12-by-18-inch rectangle. Brush the olive oil over the dough and sprinkle with the chile flakes, garlic, Gruyere, pine nuts and oregano. Starting from the longer side, roll the dough up tightly, similar to how you make a cinnamon roll, and pinch the edges to seal, placing it seam-side down. You should have an 18-inch log. Cut into 24 slices, then smush two slices into each muffin cup, cut-side up and overlapping. (This whole process is a little messy and rustic but when they bake and rise they will look beautiful.) Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • To finish: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Beat the egg together in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the tops of the muffins with the egg wash and sprinkle with flaky salt, pepper and Parmesan. Bake until puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool slightly, then use a sharp paring knife to run around the edges to release them from the tin.

CREAM CHEESE GARLIC MUFFINS

These muffins have a very fluffy texture and a rich garlicky taste. They are greta served on a brunch buffet or as a snack. I like them spread with additional cream cheese or just plain, but you can use them in which ever way you like. Feel free to add or leave out ingredients to adjust them to your likings.
