Dough

1. Add the ingredients in this order: water, yeast, flour, improver, herbs and salt.
2. Blitz on speed 7 for 10 seconds to roughly combine.
3. Lock lid and use the kneading function for 6 mins.
4. Remove dough and place into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with cling film and place into a warm spot. I use the front seat of my car or a warmed oven.
5. Leave this to rise for approximately an hour or until doubled.
6. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
7. Place garlic into tmx bowl.
8. Blitz on speed 9 until fine.
9. Scrape down.
10. Add cheese, bacon, herbs and oil.
11. Mix on speed 4 until just combined.
12. Pour into a bowl.
13. With your dough, roll it into small balls. Vary the size slightly – cherry tomato and golf ball size work well. I got 35 balls today.
14. Roll each ball into the olive oil mixture and place into an oven proof dish. Today I used a ring form as it looks effective. No need to grease the dish at all. Place balls close together.
15. Sprinkle any remaining cheese and bacon mix over the balls.
16. Bake for 45-55 minutes until cooked through and golden on top. Time will vary on the size of your balls.
17. If they are doughy cook a little longer.
18. The balls will just pull away from one another.
