Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 150 milliliters milk
• 150 grams sliced bacon
• 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the butter, and using your fingertips, rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.

Step 6

Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 1cm thick.

Step 7

In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble into pieces.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the rolled dough, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough to form a log.

Step 10

Cut the log into 8 slices and arrange them on the prepared baking tray, cut side up.

Step 11

Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the rolls.

Step 12

Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the rolls.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Let the rolls cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade bacon and cheese rolls warm or at room temperature.
