BONNIE'S HAM AND CHEESY BRUNCH BUNS

Steps:

• 1. Let the cream cheese come to room temperature so it is easier to spread.
• 2. Use your favorite bread dough, enough for one loaf of bread and let it rise for about an hour. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
• 3. Plan ahead. Prepare the ham and vegetables. I chop my ingredients small.
• 4. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin in a rectangular size on a cutting board, about 1/4 inch thick.
• 5. Brush melted butter over the dough, and then spread the softened cream cheese over the buttered dough.
• 6. Add the chopped ham to the dough, and press it down into the dough with your fingers.
• 7. Add the chopped broccoli. Press it down.
• 8. This is the cheese I used. You can use whatever you like. Sharp cheddar is wonderful. So is Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack. For a lighter Brunch Bun for a ladies luncheon, select Fontina or Gruyere cheese.
• 9. Add the cheese to the dough. Press it down.
• 10. Add the onions. Press down.
• 11. Add the Parmesan cheese to the dough and pat it down with your fingers. Now, roll it up into a long log. Start rolling it from the long side of the dough as depicted in the photo.

Lift carefully with a spatula and place the slices on the parchment paper on the sheet pan. (Lay the slices down)
• 12. Place the slices about 1 1/2 inches apart. Let the slices rise again for about 40 minutes.

CHEESY GARLIC BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 225°C/205°C (fan). Cut the top off the head of garlic, so as to slightly expose the cloves inside and place on a piece of kitchen foil. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of olive oil, then wrap the garlic in foil. Bake for 35 minutes and let cool. Next, remove the mushy garlic cloves from their pods.
• While your garlic is in the oven, add the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil to the water and mix with the flour, yeast and salt (at opposite sides of the bowl). Mix until well combined and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Put the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rise until doubled in size (about 40 minutes).
• Put the ball of dough back on the surface, knock back and roll into a baguette-shaped piece of dough. Divide into 15 pieces of (roughly) the same size, rolling each one into a small ball.
• Roll out each ball into a flat disk. Take a lump of cheese and place it in the middle, then top with garlic. Pinch up the edges and seal. Place your lookbol (pinched side down) on an oiled baking tray. Repeat for the rest of your dough. Make sure you don't leave too much room in between if you want to make a tear 'n' share; otherwise space well apart.
• Cover with a dampened kitchen towel and leave until doubled in size (about half an hour).
• When the dough is nearly ready, preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C (fan). Bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, brush with 1 tsbp of oil and sprinkle with poppy seeds. You can eat them straight away (do be careful not to burn your tongue... hot cheese and whatnot) or cold.

CHEESY HOT CROSS BUNS

Steps:

• Mix the flour, yeast and 2 tsp salt in a big bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk. Mix with a wooden spoon, then your hands, to a soft dough. Knead for 10 mins, then put back in the bowl. Lightly cover with oiled cling film and leave somewhere warm-ish until doubled in size - about 30 mins.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead in most of the cheese. Dust a large, flat baking sheet with flour. Shape the dough into 12 round buns and arrange on the sheet with a 2-3cm gap between each. Loosely cover with another sheet of lightly oiled cling film and leave to prove until nearly doubled in size.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the 5 tbsp flour for the crosses with the Parmesan and 5 tbsp water. Spoon into a disposable piping bag and pipe a line along each row of buns, then repeat in the other direction to make crosses. Scatter with the remaining cheddar and bake for 20-25 mins until golden. To reheat from frozen, warm in a low oven before serving.
