stuffed loaf

First make a bread dough, combine 500g of strong bread flour in a bowl with half a tablespoon of salt and mix. In a jug put 325ml of tepid water and add half a tablespoon of yeast and half a tablespoon of sugar, stir and leave for 5 mins. Pour the water mixture in to the flour and incorperate with a fork until you have a loose dough. Empty dough onto a floured surface and kneed until smooth and silky. Leave to prove in a covered bowl for half an hour. Then knock it back and kneed for five mins. Roll out into a large square. Imagine a line down the centre of the dough, on 1 half lay bacon, tomato halves, halved boiled eggs, basi and sprinkle with cheese. Fold the other half over and roughly crimp around the edge. Bake for about half an hour.
