GARNISH:
Method
- 1. Into the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add the flour, yeast, garlic salt, sugar, butter, milk and water.
- 2. Mix to combine for around 5 minutes.
- 3. Remove the dough, place into a oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen cloth and leave somewhere warm and allow to prove until its doubled in size.
- 4. While your waiting, line the base of a 9” square baking tin with parchment paper and set aside.
- 5. Once the dough is ready, place back in the mixing bowl, add the Gem apricots, cooked bacon and chopped rosemary and mix until combined.
- 6. Turn this dough out onto a floured work surface and divide into 9 equal pieces.
- 7. Roll each piece into a ball and place into the prepared dish.
- 8. Cover with a kitchen cloth and again, leave somewhere warm until the rolls have almost doubled in size.
- 9. While these rolls are proving, preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan.
- 10. Egg wash the ready to bake rolls and pop into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- 11. Remove, brush with melted butter and sprinkle on some chopped rosemary.
- 12. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin.
- 13. Top Tip: Get creative and add different herbs or even grated smoked cheese or the addition of chorizo is gorgeous. You can also leave out the meat to accommodate vegetarians
