Bake Off with The Bake Off - Bread!

So last week, my challenge was to make a biscuit that I have never made before. This week was bread week and my challenge was to make my own show stopper bread. 
I had the stipulation that it had to be savoury, here's what I made, how I did it and the results:

Week 3 - Bread!

Sun dried tomato pesto bread with Camembert 

Ingredients:
14oz Plain Flour
120ml Milk
120ml Water
2 tbsp Butter
2 1/2 tsp Sugar
3/4 tbsp Instant Yeast
1 tsp Salt
Sun dried tomato pesto
Camembert

Firstly, melt the butter in a pan with the water and milk. Set aside whilst you measure out the other ingredients to allow it to cool

In a large bowl, mix together the Flour, Sugar, Yeast and Salt. Add the melted butter mixture and mix well. 

Once combined, tip onto floured work surface and knead for a few minutes, until smooth

Lightly oil a large bowl, place dough in the bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to rise for 60 minutes.

Knock it back by kneading for a few seconds. Split into four equal parts and roll out into circles

I decided that it was easier to place on a plate to spread the layers of red pesto and have enough space to keep rolling the other layers. Place the dough onto the plate and spread the red pesto evenly over the dough.

Roll out the next layer and place on top, cover with pesto and repeat, finally roll out the final layer and place on top. I used the plate to flip the layered dough upside down and cut around it to neaten the shape up.

Next, cut into eight equal parts.

Make a cut in the middle of each one and widen it slightly so that you will have enough room for the next step. Whilst holding the triangle by the top, take the bottom through the hole at the back and pull it forward. Then you roll the top, to make a swirl.

Repeat for all 8 pieces. Next you need to place them onto your baking tray. I used a pizza tray with tin foil underneath. I placed some of the offcuts I had leftover in a circle, to provide a nice case for the cheese to stop it from filling out, I then placed the the 8 pieces around it like a flower. They will need to prove for a little longer, so I put the box for the Camembert in the middle, to ensure that it keeps shape whilst it rises again. I left it for 30 minutes, covered in cling film. About half way through, I preheated the oven to 175c

Swap the cheese box with the actual Camembert. Now it's ready to pop in the oven!

I turned mine around half way through to ensure that I had an even bake. Mine only took 25 minutes, give it a gentle tap on the top, it should sound hollow when it's ready.

Pretty delicious looking right? It was really tasty! Definitely a hit! Between 3 of us, we managed to demolish it within about 7 minutes. 

I earned full points for this one, I'll definitely be making this again, so many different flavour combinations to try! I might try a sweet one next :)
