Peri Peri Mushroom Garlic Bread Ingredients:

To make this irresistible bread, you’ll need a few key ingredients, each one bringing something special to the table, creating layers of flavor that are delicious and aromatic.

Here’s a quick look at what you’ll need:

• Mushrooms: Fresh button or cremini mushrooms work best for this recipe. They’re mild, and tender, and absorb seasoning beautifully.

• Bread: Sourdough or French bread works best for garlic bread as it becomes crispy and holds up well with toppings.

• Peri Peri Seasoning: This is the star ingredient! Use a store-bought sauce or make it at home using a blend of red chilies, garlic, lemon, and spices.

• Garlic: Freshly minced garlic infuses the bread with a classic flavor that pairs well with peri-peri spiciness. 

• Butter or Olive Oil: Adds moisture and helps toast the bread. You can use it as per your choice.

• Mayo: you can use any mayo of choice (vegan or vegetarian) add as per choice or omit

• Cheese: Add mozzarella, cheddar, or your favorite blends of cheese for a gooey finish.

• Cilantro (coriander):  Fresh parsley or cilantro (coriander) gives the garlic bread a touch of color and freshness.

• Salt: Adjust as needed.

• Chili Flakes: add as per choice or omit

Assembling the Peri-Peri Mushroom Garlic Bread

Step 4: Make the Bread:

I’m listing all 3 ways to make this bread using your choice of method:

A. Oven Bake the Mushroom Garlic Bread

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Place the prepared bread and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are crispy golden and the cheese, has melted and bubbly.

3. Remove from pan to a hard surface and let it cool for 2 minutes.

4. Slice as per desired shape and serve.

B. Air Fryer Peri Peri Mushroom Garlic Bread

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).

2. Place the prepared bread in the middle of air fryer basket and air fry for 6-8 minutes or until the edges are crispy golden and the cheese, has melted and bubbly.

3. Remove from pan to a hard surface and let it cool for 2 minutes.

4. Slice as per desired shape and serve.

C. Stovetop Peri Peri Mushroom Garlic Bread

1. Heat a skillet or a heavy bottom pan (if you make it in a thin pan, keep an eye to prevent it from burning).

2. Pour some melted butter or oil into the pan and place the prepared bread in the middle.

3. Cover the bread and let this cook for 5-7 minutes on low-medium heat

4. After 7 minutes, remove the cover and the edges should be crispy golden and the cheese should have melted and bubbly.

5. Remove from pan to a hard surface and let it cool for 2 minutes.

6. Slice as per desired shape and serve.

Tips for Perfect Peri Peri Mushroom Garlic Bread

For the best results, follow these tips:

1. Choose Fresh Ingredients: Fresh mushrooms and garlic enhance the flavor. Avoid canned mushrooms as they don’t have the same texture.

2. Adjust Spice Levels: If you want a milder flavor, use less peri-peri seasoning or sauce or add a splash of cream to the mushrooms to balance the heat.

3. Use Sturdy Bread: Sourdough or French bread is ideal because it holds up well and becomes crispy, but you can also use ‘Pav buns / Indian dinner rolls’ as I’m using here.

4. Experiment with Cheese: Mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda adds a delicious creamy element. You can skip cheese for a dairy-free version.

Serving Suggestions for Mushroom Garlic Bread

This bread pairs well with a variety of dishes and here are some ideas for a complete meal:

•Soups: Creamy tomato basil, pumpkin, corn chowder, Indian-style vegetable soups, or corn soups work great.

•Salads: goes amazingly with a variety of fresh salads, both Indian and International.

•Dips: Marinara, cheese dips, or creamy yogurt-based dips complement the spicy flavor.

This cheesy peri-peri mushroom garlic bread is an irresistible dish that’s easy to make, bursting with bold flavors, and ideal for those who enjoy spicy food.
