Cheese & Garlic Bread

I love the special way in cutting diamonds, just a bite size and suitable to form cheesy strings of melted cheese inside, and pull and stretch each piece of garlic bread! So both buttery and garlicky, excellent.
It is an economical meze solution for the next gathering of friends for beer and drink. It is very popular with both young and old, it is becoming more and more like a game the way of enjoyment. The best part is the base of bread… butter and cheese drip down and as it gets baked it becomes delicious and crisp… guarantee!
NOTE: it is strictly eaten with the fingers!

Excerpt from the introduction:
«Αναρωτιέμαι συχνά που είναι το απόγειο της μαγειρικής. Είναι τα πιο φρέσκα υλικά, οι πιο πολύπλοκες γεύσεις είναι το καθημερινό ή το σπάνιο; Δεν είναι τίποτε απ΄όλα αυτά. Το απόγειο δεν είναι ούτε η κατανάλωση του φαγητού ούτε το μαγείρεμα, αλλά η προσφορά του φαγητού και η συντροφικότητα…»

Ingredients (6 servings) 1 small loaf of fresh bread 120g (4.2oz) grated cheese (mozzarella, gouda etc) 100g (3.5oz) butter 3-4 cloves of garlic 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp parsley or mint or basil	From the garlic press we pass the cloves of garlic, tart them and pour them into a special bowl for the microwaves, along with the butter and salt to melt the butter in creamy texture. Add the parsley finely chopped and stir.	Cut the bread diagonally in diamond-shaped shape at 2cm/1", not to the end so that the slices are not loosened so that they are held in the bread base.
With our fingers or with a knife, open the cutting points and pour spoonfuls from the melted butter mixture until it finishes.	Add the grated cheese, pushing it through the notches. Wrap the loaf with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180℃ (356℉, Gas Mark:4.2) for 15'-17' until the cheese has melted.	Remove the loaf from the oven and, with a pair of scissors, cut the foil lengthwise, open it well and put the garlic bread in the oven for another 5' to brown the bread. Eat warm with fresh salad as main or appetizer.

Bread easy to prepare, without many processes, no kneading, baked on preheated, hot, cast iron pan.
It is filled with olives and aromatic herbs such as rosemary, dried basil, oregano, anise and garlic. Crisped externally with soft fluffy crumb. As long as it is baked, our kitchen fills with its aromas, which refer to traditional bread.

No Knead Baguette

In our home we are not much of the bread, not because we do not like it but we just agreed to somewhat reduce the consumption of certain carbohydrates, removing from our usual diet this divine creature, the BREAD.
As a family with French references we could not say no to a fluffy, freshly baked baguette and thus give us the opportunity to encroach the terms of the agreement.
So we made Baguettes with a lazy process and special garnish to remind Greece but also the Mediterranean, have oil and salt, olives & tomatoes, garlic & pepper and fragrant, much smell, like when you cross dawn off the oven and take the smell of hot bread just came out. Thus they were born, inflated and baked four small baguettes, effortlessly, without kneading!
We exercised maximum restraint and character not to consume instantly. They lasted two days and the second day they were equally delicious, fluffy, delicious and very fresh. There was not third day to tell you how it was… Build them, you will not regret.
