Ingredients

    4 croissants, halved  

   2 slices of thick-cut ham, halved  

   1 tsp of Dijon mustard  

   50g of watercress, stalks removed

   2 eggs  

   150ml of milk  

   150ml of cream  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Pre-heat the oven to 180˚C/Gas Mark 4.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and cream. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the croissants and allow them to soak for around 15 minutes.

##  NUTELLA ROLLS 

 

Serves

 12-14 

 



 

 

Ingredients

 For the dough:  


   1 pack of fast action yeast  

   500g of plain flour  

   1 tsp of caster sugar  

   1 tsp of salt  

   120ml of warm milk  

   2 large eggs, beaten  

   175ml of water  

   2 tbsp of softened unsalted butter  

   1 tbsp of oil  

 



  

 For the filling:  


   3 tbsp of Nutella  

 



  

 For the vanilla glaze:  


   120g of icing sugar  

   1 tbsp of unsalted butter, melted  

   1 tsp of vanilla extract  

   2 tbsp of milk  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

To make the dough, combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Make a small well in the middle and add the yeast and water.



 Step 2 

If you have a mixer, use the kneading attachment to knead the dough for a couple of minutes, otherwise knead by hand for 10-12 minutes, slowly adding in the eggs and butter.



 Step 3 

Transfer the dough to a well-oiled bowl and cover. Place it in a warm area, like a turned-off oven, so it can rise for 45-60 minutes.



 Step 4 

Once it’s doubled in size, roll out the dough on a floured work surface to 4cm thick and spread Nutella from one end of the dough to the other, leaving 5cm around the edges so it’s easier to roll.



 Step 5 

Slowly roll the dough until you reach the end. Slice it in half, then cut the cylinder into 12- 14 equal slices.



 Step 6 

Evenly spread the rolls in a 20cm x 30cm baking dish. Cover it with cling film or a large cotton kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place to let rise for at least 30 minutes to one hour. They need to double in size.



 Step 7 

Pre-heat the oven to 180˚C/Gas Mark 4 and bake them for 25-30 minutes.



 Step 8 

To make the glaze, combine the icing sugar, butter, vanilla and milk in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Pour over the warm rolls and enjoy.
