ROASTED GARLIC, ROSEMARY & CRANBERRY TEAR & SHARE BREAD



Roasted garlic, rosemary & cranberry tear & share bread image

Feeding a crowd at Christmas? Incorporate some festive flavours into this tear & share bread, with rosemary-scented dough and pops of sweet cranberries

Provided by Benjamina Ebuehi

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole garlic bulb
1 tbsp olive oil
210g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
210g strong white bread flour
7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
1 tsp fine sea salt
2 tbsp finely chopped rosemary, plus extra sprigs to garnish
3 eggs, beaten
50ml vegetable or sunflower oil, plus extra for the bowl
100g dried cranberries, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice the top off the garlic bulb so the cloves are exposed. Drizzle over the olive oil, wrap in foil and roast for 30-40 mins, or until the exposed cloves are lightly browned and softened. Squeeze them out into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Set aside and leave to cool completely. Reduce the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a 23cm springform tin with baking parchment.
  • Tip the flours, yeast, sugar, salt and rosemary into the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl. Make a well in the centre using a wooden spoon and pour in 2 beaten eggs, the vegetable oil, 150ml lukewarm water and the roasted garlic. Knead on low speed for 6-8 mins, or by hand for 10-12 mins until the dough is smooth and supple. Add up to 50ml water if the dough is too dry; it should be soft and smooth.
  • Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 1-2 hrs until nearly doubled in size. Once risen, knock the air back, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and flatten into a circle with your fingers.
  • Scatter over the dried cranberries and briefly knead until incorporated into the dough. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for 15 mins. After this time, divide the dough into 16-20 even pieces. Roll each piece into a tight ball and arrange in the prepared tin. Cover and leave to rise again for 20 mins until puffed up. Brush with the remaining beaten egg and scatter with rosemary, then bake for 25-30 mins until golden. Sprinkle with sea salt, leave to cool slightly, then serve warm.

CRANBERRY SPREAD



Cranberry Spread image

I found this on the inside label of a can of cranberry sauce. I just had it for lunch on a turkey sandwich. Wow - it was delicious. You can also use this to baste any type of poultry.

Provided by Caz320

Categories     Sauces

Time 5m

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup jellied cranberry sauce (the kind that comes out looking like the can)
1 1/2 tablespoons stone ground dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Steps:

  • Mix cranberry sauce, mustard and brown sugar in a small bowl.
  • Whisk together until smooth.

Tips for the Perfect Roasted Garlic Cranberry Cream Cheese Spread:

- Ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This will make it easier to mix and spread. - If you don't have roasted garlic on hand, you can roast a head of garlic yourself. Simply cut off the top of the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 45-60 minutes, or until the cloves are golden brown. - Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries will work as well. - If you prefer a sweeter spread, you can add more honey or maple syrup. - Serve the spread immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Roasted Garlic Cranberry Cream Cheese Spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you enjoy it on crackers, bread, or bagel, this spread is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this Roasted Garlic Cranberry Cream Cheese Spread a try. You won't be disappointed!
