Pull apart bread flavoured with lemon zest , garlic , red chilli flakes & thyme..

In a sauce pan , heat oil . Lower the flame and add garlic , lemon zest ,thyme and salt .Turn off the heat and add chilli flakes . Let it cool .

In a bowl mix flour ,yeast ,sugar, salt ,cream, milk and milk powder well .

Knead it well for 8-9 minutes .

Add olive oil and knead for further 2-3 minutes .

Shape it into a ball and apply oil on the dough and place it in a well oiled bowl . Keep it in a warm place and let it rise .

Let the dough double in size.

Once it is double , gently punch the dough .

Using a rolling pin , roll it into rectangle shape .

Apply the flavourings using a brush. Do not use the entire flavoured oil . Use only 2 tbsp of oil .

Roll the dough tightly .

Dust some flour.

Slice the dough into two equal parts.

Then further slice it into equal size pieces .

Line the bread tin with parchment sheet and arrange the dough leaving gap on the side . I used 9" x 4 "x 4" sized loaf tin .

Do not arrange them tightly . Wait for the second rise .

Meanwhile pre heat the oven at 200 degree C for 10 minutes . Cover the loaf tin with an aluminum foil and place it in the oven . Place it on the lower rack . Bake for 25 minutes . Take the tin out and remove the aluminum foil . Brush it with remaining flavoured oil and bake it for 10 minutes ( without the aluminum foil ) .

Transfer it into a wire rack and brush it with butter . Allow it to cool well .
