Makes enough for 2 batches of 24 dough balls.

Ingredients

500g strong white bread flour

1 tsp salt flakes

½ tsp sugar

1 x 7 g sachet of dried yeast

Salami slices (we like to use Fennel & White Pepper Salami)

Mozzarella ball

Method

1. Heat oven to 180 degrees.

2. Put flour + salt in large bowl, making a central well.

3. Add yeast to 325ml lukewarm water, mix well and leave for a few minutes.

4. Pour yeast mix into well and mix in flour.

5. Draw into a ball and knead for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface. V hard work!!

6. Put in lightly oiled bowl in a warm place to prove for 45 minutes. It should double in size.

7. Split dough in half, freezing half for another occasion.

8. Roll out remaining dough into a sausage shape and divide into 24 pieces.

9. Flatten each piece and insert salami +/- 1 cm cube mozzarella. Roll into ball to cover filling.

10. Place balls on lightly oiled baking sheet approx 1 cm apart – heart shape if you are feeling in a Valentine’s mood.

11. Bake in oven for around 10 minutes until golden brown.
