Festive Breakfast Buns

I came up with these on Christmas Eve as I didn’t want to faff about on Christmas Day morning making bacon butties :) so they are a short cut but actually deliciounns!

• Simple bread mix (I used sun dried tomato and Parmesan) made according to instructions and risen once
• Pack of bacon (smoked, unsmoked, honey it’s your choice)
• Sliced mushrooms
• Grated cheese (I used some Brie as well)
• Butter

You can change up the ingredients for anything you fancy :) 

After first rise, roll the bread out into a rectangle approx 40x30 and spread liberally with butter.

Lay over the bacon and then top with mushrooms and cheese.

Starting with the long edge roll up tightly like a Swiss roll.

Oil a shallow rectangular tin.

Cut the Swiss roll into  pieces and lay each one out in the tin with a centimetre or so in between to allow for rising.

Cover with cling film and put in a warm place to rise for another hour.  Whilst rising preheat oven to 180 degrees.

The buns should expand and start to join together slightly.

Remove cling film and put in oven, if cooking to eat straight away, cook for around 20-25 mins until golden brown.  To cook for using later, cook for 10-15 mins so they are part baked then leave to cool.  You can then separate them and finish cooking the next day for 10 minutes.  Or lay out separately on a baking sheet and place uncovered in freezer for 24hrs and then place in a ziplock bag to be used when ready.  If cooking from frozen would give it 15-20 mins.

I’ve tried them with Brie instead of cheddar and it’s great :)
