How to Make Gilroy California Garlic Bread
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add cottage cheese, minced garlic (or garlic powder), egg, olive oil, oregano, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. (If using a stand mixer, knead with the dough hook attachment for 5 minutes).
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Place dough in the prepared casserole dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
