Garlic loaf
Serves 6
Ingredients:
1.5 heads of Cadours Violet Garlic (large and full of flavour)
Herbes de Provence
180g flour
100 ml (3.5 fl.oz.) milk
100 ml (3.5 fl.oz.) oil
3 eggs
1 packet of baking powder
Salt + pepper
Quick preparation time, 30 minutes cooking time
Mix the flour, milk, oil, eggs, baking powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. (Seasoning can be left out if you prefer as the garlic has a strong flavour). If you have a Thermomix, mix for 30 seconds on speed 8.
Crush the garlic (using a garlic press) and add to the mixture. Add the Herbes de Provence according to taste (you need enough to give the loaf colour and flavour).
Pour the mixture into a greased bread pan (or lined with greaseproof paper).
Bake for 1 hour (checking it regularly) in a medium-hot oven (gas mark 5/6, 150° to 180°).
Serve hot or cold.
