Ingredients

  • 500g Gem plain flour
  • 7g dried quick yeast
  • 2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp Gem caster sugar
  • 165ml water, lukewarm
  • 210ml milk

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • Egg wash, 1 whole egg whisked
  • GARNISH:
  • 100g melted butter
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary

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
