I love garlic bread from pizza hut very much… When I started eating I used to eat it very often atleast once a week😀. But now that season has gone..Now its time to try it on my own 😍. When Suhaina posted her garlic buns,I was so happy and I know I am going to try that very soon. But the thing was,it had egg and I am not yet prepared to buy egg and handle it 😕. (she has a eggless garlic rolls version now updated in her blog) After I mailed her for an eggless version,she was very prompt to help me out and gave all the detailed tips for baking the garlic buns. I just blindly followed the recipe and tried and viola👌! It came out great!
So this is the second time I am trying this and wanted to write down the recipe here and this time I have halved the quantity…I really loved the buns Suhaina baked for the Singapore blogger meet (Lunch Potluck)we recently had,we all loved the flavour and the taste of the buns she brought hot hot!! As Suhaina have mentioned it so easy and you can follow the same recipe without the garlic spread part and there you got the plain o buns,you can use as phav for bhaji too😊! So try it out yourself,its very easy and comes out nice for beginners in baking like me 😁.So after my Pizza baking attempt,I can tell this is my second successful baking attempt😎.
Garlic buns recipe
Recipe Cuisine: Continental | Recipe Category: Breakfast
Prep Time: 1 hr | Cook time: 15 mins | Makes: 8
Prep Time: 1 hr | Cook time: 15 mins | Makes: 8
Ingredients
Plain flour/maida – 1 & ½ cup
Yeast (Active dry) – ¾ tbsp
Water – ½ cup(add if more is needed)
Salt – ¾ tsp
Sugar – 1 tbsp
Olive oil – 1 tbsp
Yeast (Active dry) – ¾ tbsp
Water – ½ cup(add if more is needed)
Salt – ¾ tsp
Sugar – 1 tbsp
Olive oil – 1 tbsp
For the garlic Spread
Garlic chopped very fine – 5 flakes
Butter softened – 2 tbsp
Chopped coriander leaves – 2 tbsp
Butter softened – 2 tbsp
Chopped coriander leaves – 2 tbsp
Method
- Warm the water(not very hot,just luke warm) and add the yeast,sugar in it and mix well. After a minute mix again to make sure the yeast gets properly dissolved. The yeast dissolved will be like a frothy mixture. If you keep it aside for 5 minutes, it will raise. This is called proofing the yeast. This is a must if active dry yeast is used.
- Take the flour, salt in a big bowl and make a dent in the center and add the mixed yeast water.
- Knead the dough with olive oil to smooth and pliable(add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water if water is needed,the dough should not be too stiff and dry,it should be soft,smooth and pliable)
- If you want smooth looking buns, knead well for 5 minutes, but I just keep as such. Keep covered the bowl with either a clean wet towel or a cling wrap(wrap the bowl to cover it,not the dough).
- After an hour,the dough should have raised double in volume. Again knead it little to make it smooth.
- Divide into 6 equal balls and arrange it with enough gaps in a lined baking tray.
- Make a small slit on top using a knife to fill the garlic spread. (not very deep,more on top). Keep it aside in warm place for 45 minutes to make the balls double in size.
- Mean while make ready the spread,by mixing the butter,garlic and coriander.
- Pre heat the oven for 180°C and apparently fill the spread in the slit we made in the dough balls.(I have used less,you can use more garlic spread)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or till you get a golden coloured buns.Just cook for needed,over baking makes it harder!
- Flavourful buns are ready to enjoy,I love to have it when it is still warm
.
.
Notes
- Prrofing the yeast is must if active dry yeast is used.
- If instant yeast is used, reduce the measure by half and mix the yeast directly with flour and make dough. No need to dissolve.
- You can try in bread form too…I have to still try myself and later I may update the post..
- Try the same without garlic spread,to get plain buns or paav for bhaaji.
- You can try reducing the yeast half the quantity mentioned and keep it for long time for raising.I have not tried this but I saw this tip in Suhaina’s post.
I am sending these buns to Sharmilee’s own first ever hosted event Let’s Munch! – Light Tea time Snack !.

cumincoriandercardamom, Thanks so much for your nice words and feed back on the Godhuma adai!
Hi..i had already tried the palak paneer and it was a gr8 success( had commented on that).. but the bun unfortunately din comeout well…i din get the color on the top of the bun and it was not very soft…wht do u think would have gone wrong rak's. i wish i would get it right from ur tip ur gonna give..thanks for the same..
Hi sathya,I think the water quantity would have been the problem,I got two more feedback as same as yours… I want to know 1) if your dough properly raised 2)was your dough smooth and pliable and the bun dough was looking same as I have shown in the pictures before baking?
Also please refer the original recipe I have given the link,its from Suhaina's blog,you can refer that recipe too.. Hope You try it out again and it comes out soft. Add more butter in the garlic spread and stuff it half way through the bun and more on the top. Please let me know how it turned out the next time
Hi,

I am so glad to have found your blog! You have so awesome recipes! Loveee the garlic bread…looks fantastic!
Check out my site if time permits at http://www.zestyflavors.com
I am going to try this soon. Please let me know what kind of yeast did you use. There are different kinds available.
I used active dry yeast.
Your recipes look very delicious. Thanks for sharing it step by step. I have one request, as i am a beginner in baking it would be very helpful if you could include step by step procedure to operate the oven, especially which burner to be lit for baking cakes , how is it different from baking cakes and buns,etc. I dont know which rack to place the cake or bread. Could you help me out with it…
Hi Jyothi,
I am really sorry, I could not help you with this…my oven is a combination oven and have no racks or burners… Yours semm to be a completely different kind. I could suggest you to read the manual and refer which rack to use and so on..
raji…i have been a silent fan of your blog…tried these and came out fantastic….will post in my blog and link back to you 🙂
chk out my blog when too : http://cookingwithloveandforlove.blogspot.com/
Do you use some rack in your microwave convection mode…for all your baking recipes or for this recipe
Not all times but some times,for this I just used a baking tray…
Hi raks, iam not finding dry yeast in penang, only instant yeast is available so can u tell me how to i substitute instant yeast in this recipe as well as pizza and other bun recipes of yours. thanks
Krupa, same,try adding the same as I have mentioned in the recipe. 3/4 tblsp …
Wonderful recipe….I am a big fan of pizza hut garlic breads too…but this helps me to make my own …BTW I have featured your blog on my Linkove this week…would love your visit!!!
Hey Raks,
I like Garlic Bread. But I have a Microwave convection type oven. Can I make the same recipe in it??? Expecting your reply. I tried your eggless brownies. It was ok. Not turned out very nice. But will try again . Thanks in advance
Yes I too made in a combination oven only. I baked in convection mode…so you too can try in convection mode
hey…! the pics are really tempting but will we get the garlic flavor throughout the bun??
the pictures are really appealing, but will we get the flavor of the garlic throughout the bun???
You have to press the garlic butter through half way and then more on top, this way u can incorporate the garlic flavor better
Thanks for this recipe. I made it and it was fabulous.
i have got OTG,so on which rack they should be kept and baked.
I tried this again for a get together,thanks a ton again for the recipe,..:) happy weekend
hi,receipe looks grt and yummy too.i just want to knw the baking time and temperature to bake.
Thank u so much for the recipe. Tried and came out very well. Thanks Raks!!!
Hii.. I tried this recipe.. everything came fine.. but it got burnt at the bottom of the bun.. Can u suggest me to avoid this ( i am having Gas Oven)..
You can try baking over a wire rack to avoid this.
Hi Raks, your garlic buns look amazing. I tried it 2 days back and it came out really well…i modified the recipe a bit – i sauteed the garlic, crushed it and added to the dough…I will post the pics of my garlic bun in my blog soon….do visit my blog when u find time.
What is this yeast? Do we get it in shops? Im in India, is this available in India? If so should i ask for yeast or is it called in some other name? Can you please show some light on this…
Hi,
I made these buns today. They came out really well. We enjoyed it well. 🙂
Hi Raks,
I tried the buns yesterday. It came hard as stone. I doubt the yeast.
Could u pls tell me what brand of yeast you used..?
I used 'Black Bird' active dry yeast.
I exactly followed your recipe and measurements.
But couldnt make it.
Also pls tell me that if the buns could be made with wheat flour..
Hi,
Tried the bun's today.. Came out well… But only thing is the top of the bun did not change color. It was white.. Don't know why? Can you tell me the reason or what should I do to get a golden brown color on top of my bun..
Try brushing with milk. Some oven settings blow heat only from bottom and not from top. May be that could also be a reason
Hi Raks !!!
I am a new visitor to your blogs.Its quite interesting n facinating the way you present your recepies,its truly shows your love n passion for cooking….wonderfulll !!!…..keep it up
……i have one query either Microwave or OTG (for all purpose)
are good for cooking? ….suggest me any good Microwave or OTG,if you can !!!…
Thank you, please refer FAQs
Can it be done without yeast… yes …I m jain and don't consume yeast…
Nope sorry.
please help me out to how to do this in convection mode? I am totally confused
how to use the convection mode for baking? Is it same that preheat the oven and then do them in convection mode with required temperature. I am very much confused with it. Please help me out.
Yes you have to set the same temperature you are going to bake and preheat the oven, then bake it in convection mode
Gud
You can also use kasoori methi and a bit of cheese for preparing spread mix. Like instead of using whole amount of butter you can use half butter and half cheese. Using Kasoori methi gives a quite aromatic essence while eating .
Looks very tempting, I want to try, if instant yeast means what is the quantity ?
Raji, I tried the recipe with 2/3 quantity. It came out very well just as given in the photos. Soft fluffy inside and slightly crunchy outside. Thank you soo much for the clear step by step instructions. This is my first attempt in baking!!
Raji,
I am trying to bake Garlic bun today, and I followed the same steps mentioned by you. Somehow the dough did not rise as shown in the pics. I am not sure if the Yeast did the magic. After baking let me see how it comes out. First time in baking! Fingers crossed!
Hi
I tried this recipe today.bun was too soft and tasty.but the outer crust wasn't soft as we get in stores.instead it was slightly dry.meaning I was able to peel a thin layer.
What could be the mistake from my side?
Also after dividing equally and made it rest for 45 mins.it didn't maintain the rounded shape instead it became mildly flat and doubled too
Help me correct it please
Thanks in advance
Crust will not come soft like the one we get in shops, thats the way it comes out to me too. If it doesn't hold shape, make little more stiffer batter by reducing water.
Hi Raji…. made these buns today and they were super hit. you step by step helps me a lot. thanks a lot for your effort…. looking forward for more baking recipes….
Hi, I like your recipes.Can we try these buns using whole wheat flour? Pls reply.of yes,then what temperature and time?
You can follow the same, only texture and taste differs
Thanks for the recipe..Buns were soft but could you please help me, that how we can get a greasy effect or shiny effect on buns..I brushed it from milk though but could not get that..Please help me…what possible can be done..
Brush with lots of butter after you take out from oven. Once when hot and once when its warm/ cooled down as it absorbs.
respected rajswariji..being as cooking learner..i got d right one..as ur site..thanks a lot to offer d such a wful initiative..& it becomes vvspecial if its "pure-veg"..so me going to stuck here..me is frm rajasthan..kota..i have one querry..do v use baking powder or any other veg substitute..instead of yeast..pl do guide..thanku..regards..
Thanks a lot 🙂 I am sorry, I do not have substitute for yeast.
Hi. Can we use wheat flour instead of maida?
Yes,taste and texture will vary slightly.
