Best Garlic And Parsley Hearthbreads Recipes

HERBED PAPPARDELLE WITH PARSLEY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Set a large pot filled with 5 quarts of water over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Add 6 tablespoons fine sea salt or 1/2 cup kosher salt. Set a colander in the sink.
• Lightly dust a sheet of pasta with semolina flour, then loosely roll into thirds lengthwise, like folding a letter. Using a sharp knife, cut noodles in 3/4-inch increments. Shake off the excess semolina, and repeat with remaining pasta sheets. Form pasta into small nests (about 3 ounces per portion) on baking sheets lined with parchment paper and dusted with semolina.
• Add 4 nests of pasta to the water and stir. (Freeze the rest of the pasta for later use.)
• Set a large frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until the garlic threatens to turn golden, about 1 minute.
• Just before the garlic begins to brown, add 1 cup pasta cooking water and increase heat to medium-high. Let the sauce simmer until it reduces by about a third.
• Cook pasta until al dente, about 3 minutes, and drain, reserving another cup of pasta water.
• Add drained pasta to the pan and toss. Add parsley, and continue cooking over medium heat for 1 minute, tossing continuously with tongs. If pasta looks dry, add a little pasta water. It should be slightly wetter than you are comfortable with, because the pasta will continue to absorb sauce even after you pull it from the heat. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Remove from heat, and serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan.

GARLIC AND PARSLEY HEARTHBREADS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine the Flour, Yeast, and Salt in a bowl; pour 1 1/3 cups Warm Water into a measuring cup and stir in the Olive Oil; Mix the liquid with the dry ingredient to make a soft but firm dough, adding more liquid as needed, and either turn this out onto a surface and knead by hand or keep in bowl and use a mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead until smooth, supple and full of elastic life; form into a ball, wash out and dry bowl, Oil it, and turn the dough in it so it's lightly oiled all over; Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise for an hour or so or until doubled in size.
• Trim the tops off the Garlic heads, making sure they remain whole, sit them in some torn-off squares of foil, dribble over some oil and wrap them loosely; the packages should be baggy but the foil tightly sealed at the edges; cook for 45 minutes; they should not be mushy by this stage but still just holding their shape; remove from oven, unwrap and let cool; Turn oven up to 400 degrees.
• Tear the parsley leaves from their stems and add a good handful to the bowl of the food processor and chop; Squeeze the soft garlic cloves out of their skins and into the bowl and process again; pour in enough extra-virgin olive oil to make a runny paste down the funnel, while still processing, and leave this pungent emulsion where it is while you get back to the bread.
• When the dough has risen, punch it down and leave to rest for 10 minutes; divide the dough in half and get out 2 sheets of baking parchment. Sit a ball of dough on each, and roll out to form a curved rectangle or bulky oval; then, using your hands, press out a little more; transfer the breads on their papers to the baking sheets, cover with tea towels and leave to rise and get puffy for about 25 minutes.
• Poke your fingers all over the tops of the breads to dimple them, and then go back to the food processor and pulse once or twice to make sure the Parsley, Garlic and Oil are combined and pour this green mixture all over the corrugated flatbreads.
• Put the baking sheets into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the breads are cooked - becoming golden in parts, with the garlic flecks a darker brown and the rims puffing up around the oily topping.
• Whip out of the oven and drizzle over a generous amount of good extra-virgin olive oil; sprinkle some salt and set down on the table for people to tear greedily at with their bare hands.
