Sausage, Bacon and Tomato Buns

This is something I have made to share at work.  I’ve done a lot of night shifts recently and find that having some nice food to look forward to helps!  We were meant to be having them for breakfast but we didn’t manage to wait that long….

First I made some ordinary white bread dough with 500g strong white flour and using a bit of oil from the sundried tomatoes in the dough.  Whilst it was proving I cooked some pieces of streaky bacon and pieces of sausage meat (which I just squeezed out of sausage skins).

Once it had proved and doubled in size I stretched the dough into a rectangle and sprinkled over grated cheese, pieces of sundried tomato, the cooked and cooled sausage and bacon.  In then rolled it up, from the long edge and cut the resulting roll into circles about 1 1/2 cm in depth.

 

Once these had risen I baked them in the oven at about 200C until they were golden and cooked through.  We ate them cold, and they were eaten pretty quickly, but I’m sure they would be nicer warm.
