Bacon-mozzarella pizza pull apart bread


I'm one of those people who just can't resist adding some filling when making bread ....

And I lean towards substantial filling to stuff my bread ....

Just like when I'm eating loh bak goh or taro cake , there's something about eating savoury breads with a cup or three of milky coffee early in the morning .

I've been planning to use my angel cake pan that I bought for a song last year from Meyer Factory sale when I spied my small baking tins . It has been gathering dust for I don't know how long ....

I love using small baking tins , the baked goodies tend to look nicer when baked in a small pan and well , they are easier to photograph lol

The downside , too many things to wash  after *sigh*

Okay , 4 tins and 2 ramekins are not that much but when you count the bits and ends  ^___^

I don't have to tell you how wonderfully tasty these goodies are ....

Bacon and mozzarella ?  'nuff said !

Check one of my pull apart bread that I baked last year ...


Basic pizza dough ( Please check original recipe @ Delia online )

350 grams all-purpose flour
generous teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
240 ml lukewarm water
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons snipped cilantro leaves

* Preheat oven to its lowest setting and begin warming the flour for 10 minutes then turn it off .

* Sift flour , salt , yeast and sugar the add in the oregano and cilantro , stir to combine . Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the oil and water . Use a wooden spoon or a sturdy spatula  to stir in the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough ; use your hand to incorporate some of the mixture that has been sticking to the sides of the bowl .

* Transfer dough to a clean surface ; knead the dough for 3 minutes ( I kneaded mine for 5 minutes ) or until dough develops a sheen and blisters under the surface . Put dough into a lightly oiled mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap ; leave until doubled in size , about 1 hour at room temperature .

------------

For the filling :

6 rashers of bacon , cut into ( roughly) 1-inch square
80 grams shredded mozzarella
some pasta sauce

* Lightly oil 6 individual tins or ramekins and set aside .

* Tip dough into the clean surface , knock the air from the dough and knead it for few seconds . Form into an oval and cut in half . Roll the first half into a log and cut into a roughly 30 grams each , do the same with the other one .

* Flatten and stretch each individual dough and add in the filling in the center . Gather the edges of the dough and seal ; gently roll into a ball . Put 3 pieces of filled dough into each of the prepared tins ; brush with some oil . Let rest until doubled in size .

* Meanwhile , preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C . Sprinkle the top with some mozzarella . Bake for 18 minutes or until bread is golden brown . Serve warm or at room temperature .

    Bacon, tomato and cheese are always a classic combination... and of course, I wouldn't mind having lots of these filling in my bread too.
