Ingredients

Ingredients and Preparation Method

  • 1 tube (340g) Refrigerated crescent puff pastry
  • 1/2 cup (115g) Unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (50g) Queijo Parmesão ralado
  • 2 tablespoons Salsinha fresca, picada
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Ingredients and Preparation Method

1

Pré-aqueça o forno a 180°C (350°F). Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic.

3

Carefully open the tube of crescent puff pastry and unroll it onto a clean surface, forming a single rectangle.

4

Spread half of the garlic butter over the dough. Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese and half of the parsley. Fold the dough in half lengthwise.

5

Cut the folded dough into about 6 to 8 equal strips (2-3 cm wide). Stack the strips one on top of the other, alternating them slightly.

6

Transfer the stack of dough carefully to the prepared baking sheet, positioning it as a rectangular "loaf". Brush the remaining garlic butter, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and parsley, add salt and pepper.

7

Take to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden and cooked through.

8

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Chef Tips

- Keep the puff pastry well chilled until the moment of unrolling to prevent the fat from softening on the counter. - Finely mince garlic with a sharp knife instead of crushing so the pieces brown nicely without burning on the crust. - Wait for the bread to warm for 5 minutes after coming out of the oven so the layers firm up without losing the flaky and crispy texture.

Variations

- Add a pinch of dried red pepper flakes to the garlic butter to give a subtle spicy heat to the bread. - Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese between the layers to create elastic strands of melted cheese when pulling the pieces with your hands. - Brush a tablespoon of basil pesto sauce over the dough before folding and cutting for a green Italian version.

Substitutions

- The rising puff pastry can be replaced with traditional puff pastry rolled into thin sheets or homemade pizza dough. - Grated parmesan cheese can be replaced by pecorino romano cheese, aged gouda cheese, or dry semi-cured canastra cheese. - The chopped fresh parsley can be replaced by fresh oregano leaves, thyme, or finely chopped rosemary.

How to Store

Store in a closed container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C for 5 minutes to regain the puff pastry.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the already baked and cold bread wrapped in aluminum foil for up to 2 months. Heat directly in the oven without thawing first.

What to Serve With

Serve with a small bowl of tomato marinara sauce for dipping, cold cut and cheese boards, vegetable soups, or craft beer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is refrigerated tube crescent dough?

It is a semi-leavened and laminated dough sold ready-to-use in pressurized tubes in the refrigerated section of supermarkets, very malleable.

How to prevent garlic from burning and becoming bitter during oven cooking?

Mix the garlic into the melted butter before applying; the fat protects the garlic particles against the direct heat of the oven.

Can I bake this bread in a rectangular loaf pan?

Yes, place the stacked strips upright in the greased loaf pan for a classic pull-apart bread with detachable slices.

How to get the puff pastry layers to rise very high?

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C with constant heat and avoid opening the oven door during the first 20 minutes of baking.
