Ingredients

• 1 batch salt bread base
• 1 cup cream cheese
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions

1. Start by preparing the salt bread base, known as shiopan. This Japanese bakery favorite is known for its slightly chewy texture, crispy crust, and buttery-salty center. Follow the step-by-step recipe for the salt bread base.
2. Once the salt bread base is ready, transform it into Korean garlic bread. Each roll should be filled with tangy cream cheese.
3. Dip each roll in a garlicky butter sauce before baking. The sauce should also include a touch of sugar.
4. Bake the rolls until they are golden and fragrant. The result should be a bakery-style treat that’s crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and bursting with flavor in every bite.
5. Korean garlic salt bread is best enjoyed immediately while it’s warm, crisp, and fragrant. If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
6. To reheat the bread, simply air fry at 350°F for 4–7 minutes until the outside crisps back up and the cream cheese filling warms through.
