Preparation
Preparing the dough
1. Mix the flour, Saf-instant® yeast, sugar and salt together in a mixing bowl.
Add the water and olive oil and knead by hand until the dough becomes elastic with an even consistency.
2. Cover the mixing bowl with a tea towel and leave to rest for 2 hours in a draught-free room, or in the oven at 30-40°C.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the garlic butter. In a bowl, work the butter with a fork until soft. Add the chopped garlic, snipped parsley, salt and pepper. Cream together well using the fork.
4. Place the dough on a floured work surface and knock back by punching down with your fist.
Roll out the dough to form a rectangle approximately 5 to 8 mm thick.
Spread the garlic butter preparation over the entire surface, keeping back a small quantity of the mixture for later.
Starting from the long side, roll up the dough to form a sausage. Then shape the sausage into a circle.
5. Line the bottom of a round cake mould lined with parchment paper, place the dough circle on the paper. Score the top of the dough crown regularly, then cover with a tea towel. Leave to rest for 20 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 200°C (thermostat 6-7).
Paint the top of the dough circle with the remaining garlic butter using a pastry brush.
7. Bake for 35 minutes in the mould. The crust should be an attractive golden colour.
Eat warm.
