Method

  1. Step 1:

    First make your dough by combining the flour, yeast, sugar salt and butter in a large bowl. Add the water and mix to a soft dough. Knead the dough for 5 minutes by hand or using a stand mixer, then set aside in a lightly oiled large bowl covered with lightly oiled cling film. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  2. Step 2:

    When the dough has risen, knead the dough briefly 6 times.

  3. Step 3:

    Prepare the tin you wish to bake in by lightly oiling it.

  4. Step 4:

    Roll the dough into 15g dough balls (we made 52) and arrange them in 4

    squares in the tin. Set aside and allow to rise again for one hour or until

    doubled in size.

  5. Step 5:

    While the dough balls are rising make the dips. For each of the savoury dips set

    aside 20g Mozzarella per dip. Also set aside the olives, pizza sauce and

    marshmallows.

  6. Step 6:

    For each dip combine the remaining ingredients in separate bowls.

  7. Step 7:

    Preheat the oven to 180c/160fan/gas 4.

  8. Step 8:

    Place the dips in the cavities in the dough ball squares and level the tops. Top

    the fondue dip with the remaining mozarella, the peperoni dip with the pizza

    sauce and remaining mozzarella, the Pesto dip with the remaining mozzarella

    and olives and the S'Mores dip with the marshmallows.

  9. Step 9:

    Gently brush the dough balls with the beaten egg.

  10. Step 10:

    Bake in your preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the bread is cooked.

  11. Step 11:

    Serve immediately.
