Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. 
• Thinly slice spring onion. 
• Pick thyme leaves.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg. 

2
  • In a large bowl, combine basic sponge mix, Greek-style yoghurt, the water, salt, Cheddar cheese, thyme leaves, half the Parmesan cheese, half the spring onion, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with a generous pinch of plain flour.
  • Tip out dough and knead until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Cover and set aside.

TIP: If the dough is too sticky, add extra pinches of flour while kneading!

3
  • Divide dough into 28 pieces, forming them into equal sized balls.
4
  • Place balls on an oven tray lined with baking paper, 
    in the shape of a Christmas tree (the balls should be 
    just touching). 
5
  • Brush some egg wash on dough balls and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In the last 5 minutes of cook time, sprinkle with diced bacon and bake, until golden. 
6
  • Transfer pull-apart bacon Christmas tree to a serving platter.
  • Whilst warm, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
