A few weeks ago I was watching videos from Youtube and when I finished watching one of the videos, a suggested video of Korean street food came out. As you can imagine, I didn’t have time to watch it, of course! I love all these things and you can always learn new things. You never know everything, especially in the world of gastronomy. I can only tell you one thing, how glad I am to have seen it. The video suggested several elaborations, like Castella<\/strong><\/a>, but when it came to the Korean Cream Chesse Garlic Bread (\uc721\ucabd\ub9c8\ub298\ube75)<\/strong> I was fascinated.<\/p>\n

Maybe when you read it you will think that it is a very common recipe, I will understand it perfectly. As soon as I saw it, I thought it was a bun with sweet cream filling. And it was not wrong, only that the elaboration ended up being salty in spite of having a sweet filling. Yes, I know it may seem strange and even unattractive. But don’t be fooled in the least. The result of these breads is absolutely spectacular.<\/p>\n

Different from the one we already know?<\/h5>\n

You are probably thinking that the recipe itself has nothing new or special because garlic bread is something very popular and widespread. And, yes, it is true. But like any other preparation that resembles others, it always has changes, adaptations or modifications according to its culture that make it different and genuine.<\/p>\n

This cheese and garlic bread is made in a much smaller format, instead of the traditional large bread in which it is usually prepared. The cheese that fills the bread is made with cream cheese and sugar<\/strong>. Now you think, a sweet cream in a salty elaboration? Yes, that’s right. And the best thing about it is that the combination is absolutely amazing. Trust me.<\/p>\n

The breads are cut into segments, without reaching the base, filled with cream cheese and finally dipped in a mixture of butter, egg and garlic. The bread is impregnated with aromas and absorbs the butter mixture, which will leave an extremely juicy and tasty result. Once we have dipped it, drained it and placed it on a baking tray, we bake it again to achieve a crunchy outside with a soft inside. Serve it right away. It is one of the good ones, but one of those that you cannot let go without doing for a long time.<\/p>\n

Korean cream cheese garlic bread origin.<\/h5>\n

This famous bread is said to have originated in Gangneung<\/strong> City in Gangwon<\/strong> Province and was originally eaten as street food.<\/p>\n

The Pain Famille bakery<\/strong><\/em> makes six-sided garlic bread, also known as “six-sided garlic”. Other people prefer to make eight slices instead of six, in order to enjoy more cream cheese in the filling. Others cut the breads transversely, using long loaves. But the most popular today is the round bread cut in the shape of a star.<\/p>\n

From the city of Gangneung, the bread with cream cheese and garlic was taken to the culinary center of Gangnam<\/strong>, a famous and fashionable district in Seoul. It was there that it began to be in great demand among Koreans and became part of the menu of many cafes.<\/p>\n

What is the main difference between regular garlic and cheese bread and Korean cream cheese garlic bread?<\/h5>\n

The main difference between both is the butter and garlic mixture<\/strong> that is made to dip the breads. This, as it contains egg, acquires a more creamy consistency and the final result is custardy. Not to mention the addition of sugar and honey, both in the cream cheese and in the butter and garlic mixture. It is one of these things that can seem very strange to us until we try them… At that moment it becomes an addiction, hahaha.<\/p>\n

It’s a very easy elaboration, even making the rolls at home. You know that, for my part, I am in favor of doing everything possible at home. Including the breads. In fact, to make the process easier for you, I show you how to do the process divided in two days. But, for those of you who don’t feel like getting into the dough, you can always use store-bought buns. Although the result will not be the same, but surely quite acceptable.<\/p>\n

The filling is super easy to do, as simple as mixing. And the same happens with the butter coating, mix, dip the filled rolls and that’s it. This can be a fantastic option for a weekend snack dinner.<\/p>\n
