Assalamualaikum wbt
Well, this is an old post. Hihi. You see, I am very interested in food, especially savoury food. The problem is, I am a lazy bump when it comes into entering the kitchen, and thinking of preparing all of the ingredients makes me get even lazier. Plus, 50% of the recipes that I tried, will eventually lead to failure. *sigh*
Nevertheless, I am still into it and my interest towards recipe tryout has not been fading. Thus, I tried this: Garlic Cheese Ball.
This is my recipe and adapted just a little bit from the steam bun recipe.
Bread:
300g wheat flour/ all purpose flour/pau flour
30g garlic spread
15g oregano/Italian herbs
50g sugar
15g shortening
1 teaspoon yeast
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons bread softener
1 egg
A pinch of salt
Olives oil/ any cooking oil
Some water
Filling:
Cheddar cheese or Mozarella cheese
The first step of this recipe is to make sure that the yeast is soaked in about 50ml of lukewarm water. Just enough to mix the yeast. Let it sit for around 10 minutes.
While waiting for the yeast mixture to bubble up, mix all of the bread ingredients (except the water) in a bowl. Knead them slowly. I advice you to use a mixer to mix them evenly and get a much consistent texture. But you could always go with the traditional way of mixing them with your bare hands.
After that, add in the yeast mixture to bind all of the ingredients together. Add in the water little by little until a soft texture is obtained. It will be just a little sticky. If water is overly poured, be sure to adjust it with some flour, just enough to get the right texture and reduce the stickiness.
Once the dough is formed, add in some olive oil to smoothen the texture and avoid it from sticking to the wall of the bowl. Then cover the bowl with damped cloth and let it rest for 2 hours.
When the dough has risen, punch the center of the dough to release the air and knead them a little bit more. Form small balls with the dough and fill the center with the cheese. Be sure to seal the dough properly to avoid the cheese from oozing out while frying. Hahaaa
Once the balls are set, heat the oil and fry them until golden brown. Eat it while it is still warm to get the melting cheese in your mouth!

You can always modify the recipe to your favourite preferences by replacing it with cinnamon, curry leaves, or simply plain dough. Happy tryout!
