1
Make the dough.
-
2
Knead all the dough ingredients except for the butter together.
-
3
Add the butter, and knead for about 10 minutes.
-
4
Allow plenty of time for the dough to rise.
-
5
Deflate the bread, round off into a ball with a smooth surface, and rest for 20 minutes.
-
6
Prepare the fillings.
-
7
Cut the bacon into 1 cm wide pieces.
-
8
Roughly chop the boiled eggs.
-
9
Cut the cheese into 5 mm cubes.
-
10
Roll the dough (about 25 x 20 cm) and spread with mayonnaise.
-
11
Put on the filliing ingredients.
-
12
Lay out the bacon in 2 rows with the boiled egg in the middle - this way, the dough will be easy to roll up.
-
13
Add herbs and black pepper plus the cheese and olives.
-
14
Reserve some of the cheese and olives to sprinkle on top of the rolls later to make them look pretty.
-
15
Pay attention to where the fillings are positioned on the dough.
-
16
If you scatter them all over the dough, you won't be able to roll it up nicely, so leave space on top and bottom.
-
17
Start rolling up the dough from the side closest to you, as shown in the photo.
-
18
Oh yes, it's kind of like making a sushi rolls.
-
19
Roll it up so it's not too tight or loose.
-
20
Pinch the seams closed.
-
21
Slice the roll into 6 pieces and place on a baking tray.
-
22
You can line the tray with parchment paper or aluminium foil.
-
23
I just put the rolls on without lining the tray.
-
24
Let the dough rise (2nd rising) for 20 to 25 minutes.
-
25
Bake in a preheated 220 C oven for about 17 minutes.
-
26
The baking time varies depending on your oven so adjust as needed.
-
27
Done!
-
28
You can change the shape of the rolls or the fillings in any way you like.
-
29
The next photo shows the same dough used for a pull-apart bread.
-
30
Lightly oil a poundcake tin.
-
31
Divide the dough from Step 10 into 5 pieces, and pack into the tin.
-
32
Sprinkle with olives and cheese on top to make it look extravagant.
-
33
This is how the Step 13 bread looks after the 2nd rising is done.
-
34
It will puff up this much.
-
35
Bake for 20 minutes at 220C.
-
36
I think the bread is moister and holds its shape well if you bake it in a pan.
-
37
They're delicious the next day too!
