Savory and Soft - Super Soft Oatmeal Garlic Bread

For those who love the aroma of garlic and the texture of super soft bread, this Super Soft Oatmeal Garlic Bread will be irresistible! Its rich and savory flavor, combined with its tender and soft texture, makes it the perfect companion for early mornings. Imagine waking up to the sight of this bread and a cup of milk coffee to awaken your taste buds. This dough has a relatively high hydration, so it may still feel a bit sticky after kneading. To handle it more easily, I usually dab some olive oil on my hands before shaping the dough. You can give it a try!
