Bakehouse Energy Rustic Korean Cream Cheese Garlic Bread
The more you make it, the easier it gets.
Bread isn’t just a phase apparently and nowadays, having to optimize my time, I have spare time and more patience to wait until the next day. At the same time, @nathen007 also made me remember that our environment matters. So, these days I am taking that into consideration since most recipes out there involve proofing too long which makes sense, they live in places where it isn’t as humid as around SEA. Apparently, living in the tropics has its own advantage as fermentation is faster around here.
Still, I tried an overnight proofing and the taste is a lot better and just the way I like it. I included the ingredients so that you can try at home. Baking bread isn't as difficult as you thought it would be. You just need some patience or at least learn to 🤣
This recipe is also my twist on Korean cream cheese garlic bread. Typically they use brioche but this time, why not do it on rustic bread? It is also cost and time saving as well.
Ingredients for the bread
8 Servings slices of bread
- 200gr of all purpose flour
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 300 ml lukewarm water
Ingredients for the filling
- 6 tbsp of pre-made Cream Cheese filling
- Salt
- Parsley
- 6 cloves of garlic
- Margarine
How to’s
- In a bowl add flour, salt, yeast and water
- Mix until they form sticky dough and rest overnight or 8 hours.
- Once it’s done, shape them into a loaf of pan and bake for 30 minutes in an electric oven or 40-50 minutes in a gas oven.
For the wash/glazing and filling
- Mince 6 cloves of garlic and add melted margarine.
- Heat it up until the garlic is browning and the margarine is well-infused with the garlic.
- Add into the cream cheese mixture, give it a good mix and a generous amount of parsley.
- Once the bread is baked, make a cut and wash the bread with the garlic cream cheese mixture and fill in the gap with the remaining cream cheese.
- Bake for another 10 minutes, serve and enjoy.
While this looks like typical garlic bread, the cream cheese truly makes a whole lot different in the taste. It’s a great brunch and breakfast option for those who enjoy savory flavors like me.
It’s so hard not to bake everyday because there are many recipes I want to try and re-try. I made a bagel filled with cream cheese too but I am still perfecting the recipe. So, once I found the one recipe that’s actually great, I’ll be sharing it around here.
My mom isn’t familiar with most European styled baked goods and even French ones. So, we always bicker on the method haha since Indonesian bread is a lot different from what I like. We don’t really have rustic bread, it’s always soft bread and either bread rolls or brioche. So, I am also helping her understand french patisseries and even different types of bread as she never made one.
Anyway, see you in my next bake!

Sorry for the inconvenience, sincerely apologize
I never try a cheese bread In Korean style looks super fluffy and good 👍
The actual korean style is using brioche actually but this one was my twist. You should try making it, super easy to make.
Someone's having a lot of fun 😂😂
I definitely do!
Looks so delicious
It was!
The bread looks so delicious .
Thank you! you should try making it, it's so simple to do hehe
This is a delight Mac, in fact I have seen other dishes that you have shared this week, like the Cheese Tart that we would like to try to make here at home, well, my wife would prepare it hahaha, I will just go out and buy the ingredients. Thanks for sharing, a hug in the distance for you...
You should try the cheese tart, it's so easy to make however, please make sure that the filling is well cooked 😂 I did some mistakes here and there when I first made it and it wasn't as well cooked as I'd like it to be.
Not a post I should be reading at lunchtime. Drool.
😂 hehehe me too! I even had a breakfast with similar fresh loaf but with scrambled eggs.
The Glaze 🔥 and the cream cheese filling, just wow. I wanna come there and take a bite.
Mac, these look really professional. The crust, pre-glazing, looks perfect! I'd never have thought of adding cream cheese to the mix.
I envy the time you have to bake!
I hope Mum's little business is starting to take shape. I love the logo colour and think it will be a perfect therapy for her to help fill a huge gap in her life and focus on something positive.
As always, best wishes to you both and I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
I still have so much to learn hehehe and so many recipes I've got to try. I hope you'll be having a great day😊
