Family recipe - Cottage pie

You will need:

1 x 7g (1/4 oz) fast-action yeast
sachet
1 tsp sugar
150ml (5fl oz) hand-hot water
55g (2 oz) mature Cheddar cheese
30g (1 oz) Parmesan cheese
225g (8 oz) white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp sunflower oil (olive oil is OK)
1 egg
sesame seeds, sunflower seeds,
pumpkin seeds, and poppy seeds
Makes 8 rolls (or 16 mini rolls)
Bake at 200°C/400°F/ Gas Mark 6, cooked
1 beaten egg

1. Start with yeast

Put the yeast in a small bowl with the sugar. Add 50ml (3 tbsp) of water and stir to dissolve the yeast. Leave to stand for 5 minutes.

4. Make dough & knead

Add the rest of the water
and mix to a soft dough. Add
a teaspoon of extra water if the
dough is dry. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth – this will take about 10 minutes. Use the heel of your hand to work the dough.

2. Grate the cheese

Meanwhile grate the Cheddar
cheese on the large holes of a box
grater, and grate the Parmesan
using the fine holes.

5. Pat dough in circle & fold in cheese

Pat the dough out into a circle
about 20cm (8 in) across. Spread
the grated cheeses over it, then
fold the dough in half. Fold in half again, so that the cheese is enclosed. Knead for 1-2 minutes more to work in the cheese.

3. Make the dough

Put the flour in a large bowl and stir in the salt. Make a dip in the centre and add the oil and the yeast liquid (this should be frothy).

6. Make into Balls

Divide the dough into 8 pieces (or 16 for mini rolls) and form each one into a ball. Put on a lightly oiled baking sheet, about 5cm (2 in) apart, and press down slightly.

7. Leave to rise & brush with egg

Cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm, draught-free place for 40-45 minutes. The rolls are ready to bake when they are roughly double their original size. Preheat the oven after around 35 minutes. Beat the egg with a pinch of salt. Uncover the rolls and brush the tops with a little of the beaten egg. Sprinkle them with seeds, then put them in the oven 12 - 14 minutes.
