Ingredients

• Water: 130 ml
• Milk: 130 ml
• Salt: 1 tsp
• Sugar: 1 tbsp
• Wheat flour: 300 g
• Dry yeast: 1.5 tsp
• Butter: 80 g
• Olive oil: 1 tsp
• Garlic: 4 clove
• Green: to taste
• Ground black pepper: to taste

Cooking steps

1. Mix all the ingredients for the dough and knead (all ingredients up to the butter). Cover with a towel and place in a warm place for an hour. The dough should double in volume. (Honestly, I don't remember well, but I think I needed much more flour, the dough shouldn't stick to my hands).

   Required ingredients:

   • Water: 130 ml
   • Milk: 130 ml
   • Salt: 1 teaspoon
   • Sugar: 1 tablespoon
   • Wheat flour: 300 g
   • Dry yeast: 1.5 teaspoon

2. For the filling, mix the greens with oils, add garlic and pepper (the recipe calls for 2 cloves of garlic, but I like it garlicky, so I used 4), mix until smooth. (The oil can be melted or used at room temperature).

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 80 g
   • Olive oil: 1 teaspoon
   • Garlic: 4 cloves
   • Green:  to taste
   • Ground black pepper:  to taste

3. Knead the prepared dough again on a floured surface. Shape it into a flatbread and roll it into a log. Optionally, divide the dough into several parts (it cooks faster and bakes better; I had 2 baguettes) and form small baguettes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 300 g

4. Place the baguette on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then make cross cuts on the baguette and one lengthwise (I also brushed it with beaten egg white at that time). Bake for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.

5. Remove from the oven. Cut the loaf along the lines to the middle. Place garlic butter in the cuts. Bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
