Ingredients :
- Bread:
- 1 lb bread flour
- 1 packages dried yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 oz butter
- 1/2 pints warm water
- quiche:
- 1 lb all-purpose flour
- 8 oz butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 pints milk
- seasoning
- 6 oz hard cheese (mature)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/2 lb bacon or ham
- jam tarts:
- Left over pastry from quiche
- 1 tsp jam, lemon curd, mincemeat per tart
Method :
- Put all bread ingredients into a bowl and mix either with your mixer on a low setting with dough hook attachment or by hand
- Dough should be kneaded for at least 5 minutes in machine or 10 minutes by hand (stretching and folding to activate the gluten)
- Cover and leave in a warm place for at least an hour
- Make the pastry for the quiche
- Put flour and salt in a mixing bowl and rub the butter in to form a breadcrumb appearance
- Add cold water a tablespoon at a time and bring together in the bowl (I use a butter knife to cut and stir as pastry benefits from lack of touch)
- Wrap pastry in cling film and put in the fridge for an hour
- Gently fry the chopped bacon and onions, then leave to cool
- Turn your mixer back on to knock back the dough or knead again for 5 minutes to squish out the air bubbles. Place in a loaf tin, slash the top and sprinkle with flour. Put back in a warm place for half an hour to rise again
- When you are ready to start baking preheat the oven to 200ºC gas 6
- Roll out your pastry quite thinly (about 1/8 inch) to fit a 6" loose bottomed tin. Grease tin, place pastry snuggly in base and up the sides then trim the edges
- Set aside leftover pastry
- (If you are using a glass or ceramic flan tray you will need to blind bake your pastry for 20 minutes)
- Place onion/bacon mixture in base
- Mix together eggs, milk and seasoning and pour into quiche
- Sprinkle cheese over top (I add a sliced tomato)
- Now roll out your leftover pastry and cut it rounds to fit a cupcake/muffin tray (shallow is best for tarts)
- Fill with whatever you like - remember jams etc expand whilst cooking so don"t overfill
- Put bread on top shelf, quiche on middle and tarts on bottom
- After half an hour remove bread and tarts and move the quiche to top shelf for a further 10 minutes
- Turn bread out immediately or steam will give you a soggy bottom! To test bread is cooked through, tap the bottom and it should have a hollow sound. Leave on a rack to cool (for as long as you can resist)
- Remove tarts from tin after 10 minutes, especially if jam has bubbled over, just give time for the jam to harden a little a it will be to fluid at first
- Remove quiche and cool in tin
