Blue Cheese And Bacon Bread Twist Recipes

Steps:

• For the twists: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
• Whisk together the eggs, mustard and a splash of water until smooth; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Dust a work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to a 10-by-14-inch rectangle with the shorter side facing you. Spread the cheese over the top half of the dough, then fold the bottom half over the cheese half and roll lightly to seal. Cut the dough vertically into 12 even strips; each strip will be slightly thinner than 1 inch.
• Place a bacon strip on each pastry strip and twist the pastry and bacon together. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, pressing down the ends. Brush the tops with some of the egg wash and sprinkle with salt and sesame seeds or poppy seeds (or both).
• Bake until the pastry is golden brown and the bacon is crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet to a rack and let cool for 5 minutes before removing.
• For the eggs: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat; there should be enough water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch. Using tongs, gently place eggs in the water and boil for 5 1/2 minutes for soft-cooked eggs; the whites will be set, but the yolks will be very runny.
• Transfer the saucepan to the sink, pour off most of the water, and then run under cold water for 30 seconds. Set the soft-boiled eggs in egg cups; use an egg topper to slice off the tops of the shells, or tap around the shells with a small spoon to break and peel off. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and serve with the twists for dipping in the yolks.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove bacon from skillet, drain on paper towels and crumble.
• Place garlic in hot bacon grease. Cook and stir until soft, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place cream cheese and half-and-half in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until blended. Stir in bacon, garlic, blue cheese and chives. Transfer mixture to a medium baking dish.
• Bake covered in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Roll out the pastry and brush with the beaten egg.
• Sprinkle on the paprika and cheese evenly, then sprinkle flour on a rolling pin and flatten down.
• Cut into ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide strips, then fold in half and pinch the ends together. Gently twist pastry.
• Wrap bacon around the twists.
• Sprinkle on brown sugar and minced rosemary.
• Bake at 350°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through to make sure they are golden brown all over.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• The day before you want the bread, make a sticky paste by mixing together 1/2 cup of the flour, 1/2 cup of the water and two teaspoons of yeast in a bowl.
• When the ingredients are combined, cover the bowl with cling film and leave in the fridge overnight.
• The next day, the mixture will have bubbles on top and smell fermented.
• Add remaining flour, yeast and salt to the bowl, and start adding the remaining water a bit at a time, until you get a sticky consistency.
• Flop the dough onto a floured work surface, sprinkle more flour on the dough and knead for 3-5 minutes or until smooth.
• Put the dough in a large bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rise until doubled, between 1-2 hours.
• Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crispy and then cut into small pieces.
• Crumble the cheese into a small bowl and mix with bacon.
• Take dough and turn onto a floured work surface again, working bacon and cheese into the dough this time and kneading for another 3-5 minutes until smooth.
• Put back in bowl and leave for another hour to rise by about a third to a half.
• Take dough and split into three equal pieces.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a sausage shape, about 20 inches long.
• Take the three "sausages" and lay them out in front of you, each at a slight angle to the other.
• This part is hard to describe, but just imagine you are braiding hair.
• You will need to pinch the three pieces together at one end and then, once they are attached, take the piece on the left side and bring it over the centre piece.
• Then take the right piece and bring it over the centre piece.
• Repeat until all the dough is braided and pinch together at the end.
• Lay bread on a greased and floured baking sheet, cover with cling film and let rise for one final hour.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes in an oven at 200°C or about 350°F.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread each of 4 bread slices with 2 tablespoons onion jam. Top each with a quarter of the cheese, 1 1/2 slices bacon, and 1 slice bread.
• Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons butter on a griddle or in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches in batches, and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes total, flipping once and adding more butter as needed. Transfer to a baking sheet, and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Cut in halves or quarters, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 15x10x1 inch baking pan with foil.

• Combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll bacon strips in sugar mixture.
• Twist sugared bacon strips and place them on the foil lined baking pan.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp.
• Serve immediately or cool. Place leftovers in a freezer container and freeze for up to 1 month.
• To use frozen bacon twists, simply reheat in a microwave.

• The Hole:.
• Sieve the flour and the salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center add the egg and gradually beat in half of the milk for two minutes.
• Stir in the rest of the milk and mustard.
• Remove the roasting tin from the oven when the sausages are just turning brown and pour the batter over them.
• Cook for a further 40 minutes or until done. The batter should have risen and it will be a lovely golden brown.
• Note: This can burn easily so keep an eye on it. :D You.
• The Gravy:.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion for five minutes.
• Stir in the flour and cook for a minute then add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and chicken stock.

• Preheat the oven broiler.
• Place the focaccia bread slices on a baking sheet. Divide the pear slices evenly among the bread, and top evenly with the bacon, and then with the blue cheese.
• Broil the sandwiches in the preheated broiler until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Unroll breadstick dough into 12 separate breadsticks. Using a wet fingertip, make a "canal" down the center of each breadstick.

• Stretch and twist the breadsticks into 8-inch twists and place side-by-side on a baking sheet. Brush twists with egg white and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
