Best 6 Spicy Harissa Pull Apart Bread Recipes

SPICY HARISSA PULL-APART BREAD

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with the butter.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the cream cheese for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl well. Add the harissa, parsley, lemon zest, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper and mix until well combined.
• On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough and press both pieces together to form one large piece of dough. With a rolling pin, roll out to 1/4 inch thick. You should end up with a 16-by-16-inch square.
• Dollop the harissa mixture all over the dough and spread into an even layer. Cut the dough into four 4-inch-wide strips, then cut crosswise to create sixteen 4-by-4-inch squares. Working one at a time, fold a piece of dough in half. Place the rounded/folded side in the base of the pan, with the filling side facing up. Continue to fold and place dough in the pan until the pan is full.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until puffy, 45 to 60 minutes. Towards the end of rise time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water to combine. Gently brush the egg wash over the surface of the dough and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
• Bake until the bread is golden brown and the thickest part of the dough registers 190 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run an offset spatula around the outside edge to loosen the bread, then remove it from the pan. Serve warm.

SPICY HARISSA MEAT PIES

Steps:

• Combine chile peppers, garlic, olive oil, chili powder, coriander, cumin, lime granules, and sea salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until blended. Set aside 1/2 cup harissa and store remainder in the refrigerator for another use.
• Sift flour, chili powder, cumin, and sea salt for the pastry into the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and shortening and pulse until crumbly. Pour cold beer in a little at a time, with the processor running, until a ball of dough forms and pulls away from the sides.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured silicone pastry mat and roll to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut dough into eight 8-inch circles and cover with waxed paper or a damp cloth while you prepare the meat filling. (If refrigerating dough overnight, let it rest on the counter for at least 15 minutes before using.)
• Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, cumin, and thyme. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the reserved 1/2 cup harissa. Add bread crumbs, beef stock, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until all liquid has been absorbed and filling is moist but not watery, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the stove and set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Mix beer and egg together in a small bowl.
• Uncover the dough circles and place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the meat filling in the center of each circle, leaving a clean margin of dough all the way around. Moisten the edges of the circles with the beer-egg mixture. Fold dough in half, enclosing the filling, and pinch edges closed with a fork. Lightly brush each pastry with beer-egg mixture and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pastries are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

PULL-APART GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• 1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients; stir until well blended. Scoop mixture onto the center of some wax paper and gather the sides to compact the butter. Fold one side over and form a log, tightening it up. Roll it up to the other side and twist the ends tight. To prevent from opening, fold ends under. Chill until it hardens, about 2 hours.
• 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add yeast, lukewarm milk and honey. Let it sit for 15 minutes or until foamy.
• 3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add 2 cups flour (reserve ¾ cup on the side), garlic powder and salt; whisk until well combined and set aside.
• 4. Add unsalted butter, egg and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese to yeast. Using a dough hook, mix the ingredients well. Add flour mixture and process on low speed for 3 minutes. Add 1 tbsp. reserved flour at a time to the bowl, mixing well after each addition, until the dough clings around the hook and pulls away from the sides. Increase speed to 4 and knead for 4 minutes.
• 5. With oily hands, form dough into a ball by pulling under and transfer to a lightly greased bowl with olive oil. Cover loosely with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot (in the oven with temperature off) until doubled in size, about 1 ½ hours.
• 6. When rising time is up, punch dough and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Sprinkle flour on dough and form a ball by pulling under. Using a bench scrapper, cut dough ball in half (sprinkle more flour if needed) and cut each half in half. Form ball with each piece. Cut each ball in half and each of them in half again, pulling under and forming a ball - in total, 32 balls is needed for this recipe.
• 7. Preheat oven to 375ºF and place a small ramekin dish upside down in the center of a lightly greased 12"x1" deep dish pizza pan; set aside.
• 8. Working with one ball at a time, flatten it out to about 2 ½-inches around and place a piece of mozzarella in the center followed with a small piece of hard garlic butter. Gather the edges together making sure the stuffing mixture is well covered and tightly pinch it closed. Transfer to the prepared pizza pan, leaving a small space in between. Cover and let it proof for 30 minutes.
• 9. In a small bowl, combine egg and milk; beat well and set aside.
• 10. Brush egg wash on dough balls after rising time is up. Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, melt garlic butter. Remove from the heat and brush on a generous amount of melted butter and evenly sprinkle on the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. Return to oven and bake for 3 minutes or until cheese is somewhat melted.

SPICY CHEESY PULL-APART BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 6-inch cast-iron skillet with canola oil spray.
• Remove the biscuits from the package and lay them out on a clean work surface. Gently pull the layers apart at the middle to divide the biscuits in half. Gently pull each of the halves apart so you are left with four thin, round biscuits each (32 in all). Don't worry if any biscuits tear: just press the torn pieces back together.
• Place 1 teaspoon of the mozzarella in the center of each biscuit round; you will use about 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella for this. Fold the dough around the cheese and roll into balls. Arrange the balls in a circle around the edge of the prepared skillet, then work your way in until you have completely filled the cast-iron pan with the dough balls. If you start to run out of room as you get closer to the center of the skillet, gently push the dough from the center towards the edges of the pan to make more space.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, stir in the scallions, garlic, red pepper and salt. Cook until the butter is just beginning to brown and the garlic is lightly toasted and very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the dough and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
• Bake until the dough is cooked through and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Serve in the skillet.
