Korean-Style Cream Cheese Garlic Bread - Food Wishes

[@riuphane]

"... So I decided to remove will power from the equation" Words to live by, Chef John. That's the kind of advice that I definitely needed and a great suggestion in general

[@apetsel]

After watching the second dunk in the garlic mixture, I found myself thinking "Okay this will be great as-is, but I bet shaving some parmesan on top would be perfect." 20 seconds later I was feeling pretty pleased with myself, my cooking intuition has grown so much from channels like this! Thanks Chef John!

[@thebewitchinghour831]

I was thinking the same and then it happened. lol

[@drdrew3]

Everything is better with cheese on top!

[@lpsoldin3162]

To be fair, there's not very many situations where adding parmesan on top is not an improvement.

[@apetsel]

@@lpsoldin3162 very true, just pointing out how unbelievably basic my cooking skills were before the assistance of channels like this one.

As Korean, it's really glad that chef John introduce this wonderful, fantastic and delicious garlic bread recipe on his channel!

[@gilbert-noelsfeir4842]

Do you mean "I'm really glad"? [Just kidding]

[@ladorada3276]

I've made the more traditional version that was sweetened with honey and topped with panko and it's absolutely delightful and addictive. After fully making them, I carefully wrapped and froze a few. They reheated beautifully. They were so much more delicious than I even expected.

[@TrEeBLaZe]

I love this guy's videos, but the cadence in his voice and how he goes up at the end of each sentence is what truly keeps me coming back for more! 😄

I think some "take and bake" rolls from the market will work for this. Looks absolutely delicious. Thanks chef John!

[@gwenb4531]

Yes, I can see that working! They might be a little smaller, but would definitely work, I am glad you thought of that!

[@Sassyglbeauty]

Yes, I was thinking some of those freezer rolls you can get where you have to take them out a few hours to rise, u could shape them to be more rounded like these ones!

[@Ayelene8]

Made these last night. I used round Chicago hard rolls from the bakery. They were amazeballs. So good! And super quick and easy. 10/10 will make again. They were still delicious this afternoon - and at room temp!

[@nateb2715]

I remember the first time seeing these on youtube(in Korea), I thought they looked AMAZING, but wasn't sure about the sweetness. This is a version I WILL try

[@phoebee2326.]

i tried these from a cafe recently, and i was so shocked at the sweet flavor! it certainly wasnt bad, but im more excited to try the more savory version.

[@YoonriFluffy]

For the use of condensed milk, in Eastern to SE Asia, we really like the combination of sweet and savory. Which is obvious even in some of our viands here. The only variety you'll see in the flavor profile is how spicy it will be.

[@stephenkormanyos766]

Crap-I’ve figured out how to double this recipe because I can’t stop making it and I always need more than six. Thank you once again Chef John!

[@brandonolar3217]

having never made any bread myself before this I gotta say, your pacing and instructions are perfect. these are incredible.

[@paulwagner688]

When they do this at the street places, They have a HUGE barrel of the garlic stuff and they completely submerge the rolls, then open them up and use their gloved hands to pour it all over the cheese mixture. It's absolutely insane how much of that garlic mixture they use for each roll.

[@wolfman011000]

When I bake the rolls i like to add a head of garlic in foil to roast while baking and use that in my garlic butter. I also like to make this using mozzarella cheese on top for melty goodness.

[@PLF...]

Not too long till you hit 1 billion views John... It's going to be spectacular.

[@annmccosker]

These are even more delicious than they look!! If you're thinking about making them, do it!!!

[@PurpleBomb3r]

I recommend some celery salt in the butter garlic mixture! Its just so good yall gotta try it!

[@viralnorn9173]

You gave me an idea with this delicious recipe Chef John! (Which my husband is begging me to make). I used to dip pretzels into pimento cheese spread. I am going to pipe pimento cheese into pretzel buns and proceede with some kind of egg/butter dip for the remainder of the recipe. And that was NOT an unreasonable amount of garlic in my household 😅

I put the cream cheese in first then dip it in the egg mixture. Works well, less mess. Love ya Chef John!

[@bighominid]

Koreans like adding sugar to dishes that Westerners would normally consider savory. It's common, in Korea, to get what Koreans call "garlic bread" (마늘 빵, maneul-bbang) that's covered in a sugary glaze. A lot of Westerners find this to be a confusing, or even off-putting, taste combination because we have a pretty specific idea of what garlic bread ought to be. As a half-Korean who's lived in Korea for 18 years, I've gotten used to sugary garlic bread, but I can't eat it in large quantities, whereas I could eat whole loaves of more traditional, Western-style garlic bread.

[@saltycrow]

Bloomin onions ain't got nothing on these bloomin rolls. I'm drooling over here. My goodness they look awesome. I wonder how they'd work with Chef John's Crème Fraîche instead of cream cheese? I don't have any cream cheese but I do have a jar of that super delicious crème fraîche in the fridge.

[@GhostofRazgriz]

I think you could replace the milk with the creme fraiche, just add small amounts of the creme to the cream cheese until you get to the consistency that Chef shows in the video. Otherwise, I think fraiche on it's own would be too liquid after baking.

Posting this on the very first day of Passover is just evil

[@TheQuixotess]

I just made these and they turned out GREAT, despite a few mishaps. I don't have a stand mixer, so I mixed the dough with my hands and that worked fine. I was out of cream, so I substituted half & half plus a little butter. I discovered I was out of eggs after I'd already baked the rolls, so I put everything away overnight and finished the recipe the next day. This required reheating the butter sauce but it was totally fine. Despite multiple mistakes and substitutions, these rolls turned out tasting and looking great first try! With 3 hours for the dough to rise, make sure you have a good book or show to enjoy while you wait, and set timers so you don't forget

[@Kermitthebadger]

oh my god, I tried the original recipe once and it was freaking unedible. SOOO sweet for such savoury flavours...

[@saysoun752]

Looks absolutely amazing. Will definitely try this in a week or two.

[@hellothisislilac]

Thank you for this recipe. I was honestly very put off by the original because I really don't like sweet savoury food. This looks exactly like something I will DEVOUR. Love you Chef John

[@BreakthroughInk]

I like the way you ate the whole thing. Will definitely make these. Thank you!

[@davidd.6116]

Now these look like the best buns that I have ever seen. Great job, John. Thanks!

[@belindagalle97]

Hot bread has to have butter it's mandatory for me! 🤗 Maybe some jalapeno and bacon bits in the filling too. I know, I'm weird. But I love cream cheese, bacon, and jalapenos and think that a combination of these in this bread would be melt in your mouth heavenly. I think I could make a meal just with the bread! 🍽

[@AlottaBoulchit]

That's not strange at all! Bacon, cream cheese and jalapeños are a wonderful combination! I once tried one of those funky viral TikTok recipes that was cream cheese stuffed jalapeños with Takis brand chips jabbed into the cream cheese centre. VERY tasty. I had not been a jalapeño fan until that moment! ❤

[@SilvaDreams]

@@AlottaBoulchit Jalapeno poppers aren't really anything new, was eating them as a teen in the 90's. But they are jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese (and maybe other stuff like bacon) breaded and fried. Not a big fan of Takis though in the case of whatever you picked up off of tiktok

[@AlottaBoulchit]

@@SilvaDreams Hmm? 👂 I don't recall ever saying jalapeño poppers were new? Did you read "TikTok" and get in your feels thinking I was some vapid Zoomer who doesn't realize the world existed before TikTok so you felt the X/Millennial Urge to "educate" me? (: Because that's the vibe your comment gives off. ✨️

[@nothingtoseehere-p4y]

This recipe gives me smiles and excitement to try it out

[@whitenoise509]

Spinach works very well in place of the parsley, in case you aren't a fan of the parsley flavor. Or both. 🙂

[@stephenbianchi7141]

Love the idea of adding spinach, but you got me thinking... Is the flavor of parsley strong enough to be offensive enough for someone to not like it 🤔. Of course it's possible, but have you met people who dislike parsley? Not criticizing, genuinely asking a question. For the record, I live in the USA, where we mostly use parsley as a lazy garnish.

[@huskybaiano3994]

I was just thinking of adding spinach to it. Give it a ~mediteranean razzle dazzle~. The flavor would probably remember spanakopita or even spinach sfihas.

[@rajs7876]

Spinach is too strong

[@lisasinclair7982]

@@stephenbianchi7141 A parsley disliker here. That was the only part of the recipe that didn't appeal. 'Twill be spinach for me.

[@Karawoolfe]

But garlic need butter and parsley to get that garlic bread experience

[@walkure48]

They absolutely do look awesome! The world definitely needs more savory and less sweet. I also remember one of the local Italian bakeries making those style of rolls (minus the filling, of course), and one of my fondest childhood memories was breaking off chunks of those rolls and dunking them in soups, stews and chilis. This is definitely a versatile recipe :).

[@emiknits02]

Green onion is often used lots in korean cuisine, so i think it was a fine addition to this recipe! looks delicious - i wish i could reach through the screen and eat it.

[@terrywickham781]

While I reckon the home made buns would be delicious, I just couldn't be shagged waiting so long for them to prove and cook so I bought some lovely fresh ones from our local Volare bakery instead. Followed all the other steps for the cream cheese filling and the garlic/egg butter and the end result was too meke!! Doubled everything as well...no wonder I'm the size of a small third world nation! Watching from Aotearoa New Zealand.

cannot wait to make these. ty.

[@NicePersonNumberSeven]

wow wow wow. I made a 4x’s batch for Easter and used jalapeños in some. And I made some with no onion or jalapeño (kids). 1. They look gorgeous because this is really a great recipe. 2. They taste better than even I imagined. 3. Biggest shocker is the bread is delicious. The kids ate a whole batch so I tested it alone = so good. This is a definite all-star winner. I will be making these as a great snack for teens after ice skating or football games, etc.
