Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

1) Preparation of bacon filling.

Fry 250 g small pieces of bacon in a non-stick frying pan and discard the fat which runs out.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

Prepare 125 g shallot and chop finely.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

Reuse the bacon pan (without cleaning it) to melt 20 g butter. Add the chopped shallots, salt and pepper.

Cook without colouring.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 1 min.

Pour 15 ml red wine into the pan.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 15 min.

Mix and leave to cook until all the wine has evaporated, then add the bacon.

The filling is ready. Note that this can be prepared the day before and kept in the fridge in a sealed container.

Stage 6

In bread-making, the water temperature is always important. It's not a fixed value, but related to 3 other temperatures: 1) the temperature of your flour, 2) the room temperature in your kitchen, and 3) the basic temperature of this recipe, which is 52-56°C.

You can calculate the temperature of the water for this recipe in one click, using this small calculator.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 15 min.

2) Preparation of dough.

Put into a food-processor bowl: 220 g flour, 30 g instant mashed-potato powder, 175 ml water at the right temperature, 5 g salt, 5 g yeast, 15 ml olive oil and possibly 25 g Soured dough.

Start on the slowest speed for 3 minutes, then a little faster for 6 minutes.

Note: For the best way to knead, see: A few tips for effective kneading at home.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.

Add the bacon filling to the dough and knead on the slowest speed just until it is well mixed in.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 30 min.

Roll the dough into a ball and put into a large clean bowl. Dust lightly with flour, cover with a sheet of plastic and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 5 min.

After this time, roll out the dough into a rectangle 1cm (0.4 inch) thick.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 5 min.

Cut into strips 1cm wide (a dough cutter is very useful for this)...

Stage 12

...then cut across into 2cm (0.8 inch) lengths to make the little rolls.

Stage 13 - ⌛ 45 min.

Arrange on a baking sheet, sprinkle with grated cheese. Cover with a sheet of plastic and leave to rest for about 45 minutes.

Stage 14 - ⌛ 15 min.

Preheat the oven to 240°C (460°F).

Bake the rolls for about 15 minutes.

Remarks

You can use Comté, gruyère or Emmenthal cheese, but Comté is by far the best.

If you serve these as aperitif snacks, don't be surprised if they all disappear - they are difficult to resist!

Keeping: A few hours, 1 day maximum.

Dried apricots

Making your own dried apricots at home is perfectly feasible. It's really quite simple, though it takes a long time. Basically, the apricots need to be cut in half, destoned, then the halves put to dry slowly for several hours in a cool oven.

Jelly-style plum jam

Lots of people make plum jam, but you can also elevate this to a rather elegant jelly, simply by removing the skins. It's not a true jelly (this is normally made with juice), but leans towards that style: light and, above all, delicious.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
