WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- For the bread, mix the flour, yeast and sea salt in a bowl. Make a well in the middle, pour in 300ml warm water and the oil. Mix, then tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and springy. Put in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Heat the grill to medium, partially cook the sausages for 6 mins, and the bacon and black pudding for 2 mins, turning as needed. Leave to cool.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. One at a time, roll them into 30cm rounds. Put one on a baking sheet and spread all over with half the mustard ketchup, top with another round and spread with the rest of the mustard ketchup, and then top with the last round of dough. Stamp out a 7.5cm round from the centre and discard.
- Make 12 even snips around the outer edge of the dough, leaving 5cm of uncut dough near the centre. Arrange 6 sausages, like the spokes of a wheel, on the dough and in-between each snip, alternately put 2 slices of bacon or a slice of black pudding with each sausage.
- Twist each dough strip like a cheese straw. Fold these up and over the sausages, to create a cross, also enclosing the tomatoes. Tuck the ends under at the centre.
- Cover the dough wreath with a tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 30 mins. Heat the oven to 200°C. Bake the bread for 25-30 mins.
