Baking day

Put all bread ingredients into a bowl and mix either with your mixer on a low setting with dough hook attachment or by hand

Dough should be kneaded for at least 5 minutes in machine or 10 minutes by hand (stretching and folding to activate the gluten)

Cover and leave in a warm place for at least an hour

Make the pastry for the quiche

Put flour and salt in a mixing bowl and rub the butter in to form a breadcrumb appearance

Add cold water a tablespoon at a time and bring together in the bowl (I use a butter knife to cut and stir as pastry benefits from lack of touch)

Wrap pastry in cling film and put in the fridge for an hour

Gently fry the chopped bacon and onions, then leave to cool

Turn your mixer back on to knock back the dough or knead again for 5 minutes to squish out the air bubbles. Place in a loaf tin, slash the top and sprinkle with flour. Put back in a warm place for half an hour to rise again

When you are ready to start baking preheat the oven to 200ºC gas 6

Roll out your pastry quite thinly (about 1/8 inch) to fit a 6" loose bottomed tin. Grease tin, place pastry snuggly in base and up the sides then trim the edges

Set aside leftover pastry

(If you are using a glass or ceramic flan tray you will need to blind bake your pastry for 20 minutes)

Place onion/bacon mixture in base

Mix together eggs, milk and seasoning and pour into quiche

Sprinkle cheese over top (I add a sliced tomato)

Now roll out your leftover pastry and cut it rounds to fit a cupcake/muffin tray (shallow is best for tarts)

Fill with whatever you like - remember jams etc expand whilst cooking so don't overfill

Put bread on top shelf, quiche on middle and tarts on bottom

After half an hour remove bread and tarts and move the quiche to top shelf for a further 10 minutes

Turn bread out immediately or steam will give you a soggy bottom! To test bread is cooked through, tap the bottom and it should have a hollow sound. Leave on a rack to cool (for as long as you can resist)

Remove tarts from tin after 10 minutes, especially if jam has bubbled over, just give time for the jam to harden a little a it will be to fluid at first

Remove quiche and cool in tin
