It’s time to bake & talk about bread again…& this couldn’t be a better bread baking opportunity for me. Zorra @ Kochtopf is hosting the 3rd World Bread Day today, on October 16th. This is for Zorra…
The original World Bread Day – an event created by UIB International Union of Bakers and Bakers-Confectioners – wants to provide an opportunity to talk about bread and bakers, to find out about their history, their importance as well as their future. 
It was everything she said it would be … simple to make, great smelling & addictive. A well behaved loaf that sliced beautifully. Great great loaf, & the yeast cooperated as well!
The bread also made this absolutely delectable ‘Olive Oil Mushroom Bruschetta‘. The recipe for this great tasting, crisp bruschetta was passed to me from my friend in Kiev while we were chatting the other night. That’s what I love about foodies & blogging…the free flowing exchange of creative ideas. Never a dearth of what to cook! It’s easily now…what not to cook!!
Roasted Garlic Chili Bread
As copied (& adapted) from My Food Blog
3 cups All-Purpose Flour + extra for dusting
1 cup Whole-wheat Flour
1 tbsp Sugar
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp – Roasted Garlic Paste
1/2 tsp Roasted Red Chili Flakes
1/2 cup shredded Cheese (I used grated cheddar)
1 tsp Active Dry Yeast
400 ml Water (I used a little less)
Bruschetta is a food whose origin dates to at least the 15th century from central Italy. It consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Variations may include toppings of spicy red pepper, tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, and/or cheese; the most popular American recipe involves basil, fresh mozzarella, and tomato. Bruschetta is usually served as a snack or appetizer. Olive Oil Mushroom Bruschetta This post featured on

Glad you liked it Deeba and the garlic sounds like a great idea.
What an awesome idea for bread. I bet the roasted chili flakes really add flavor and depth to a loaf…and paired with the garlic…wow.
Garlic and bread works magic! Nice crusty bread…
And just when I thought bread couldn’t get any better!
these look wonderful. I could eat these as a meal
I love roasted garlic and muschrooms hmmmmmm the bread looks so nice
This looks so yummy. I like all of your picture arrangements. Have a wonderful Sunday!
What a delightful loaf of bread! I bet it would make fantastic sandwiches.
Hmm, roasted garlic = good, chili = good, olive oil = good, mushrooms = good. It’s not even dessert and yet I believe you may have created an epitome of deliciousness here Deeba!
I just made garlic-parsley-pepper finger toasts for lunch today and here I am reading a similar produce. mmm homemade bread is fabulous. I don’t know when I shall be back in the kitchen again, enjoying the home-baking… arrggghhh I hate being sick!

Hi! I have one doubt here. Are the mushrooms in this recipe raw? Meaning you marinate them and bake them…is that all?
hey D
long time since i said hi! so just sayin hi!
you should have a requests section where people can put in their requests and you can respond if and when possible.
so here’s my request – want a nice recipe for burmese khow sway. if you feel like, pl do make and post! i mean i have recipes, but yours are foolproof!!!
also a question, remember the mortar and pestle you got from mahabs? i managed to acquire one like that too, but i find it is too narrow on the inside and am not able to grind well in it (even tried inveritng the pestle to have the narrower side in) but it does’nt work as well as it looks – do you have the same problem? do you have a suggestion as to how to solve it?
thanks

Looks amazing!
So this is the bread and the bruschetta. It looks great.

You are amazing! I love what you did here. Also, thanks for the tip about fussy kids. I have a little one hear who complains when she sees mushrooms – I’m going to try your cheese trick next time.
Tanti baci, bella,

You have wonderful bread recipes. I don’t think anyone can resist garlic and chilli bread. I love your pictures too, they look so professional!
You had me when I saw there were chillis in it! Looks tasty.

Oh my word that bread does look and sound good… It might even persuade a non-baker like me to get started!
what a lovely recipe and beautiful pictures!
Wow!! Garlic Bread, my favourite. Tempts me to try it.
the smell in your kitchen must have been unreal!

Thank you so much for this recipe. I made it yesterday- my very first time baking bread. It turned out so well. I have never gone wrong with your recipes. I had a question for this one though. The recipe does not mention salt. I thought addition of some salt would have made it tastier. Is salt not added for any particular reason?
