Cheese & Onion Tear and Share Loaf

This is a "Best of the Bake-Off" recipe so I made it yesterday morning to have with soup for lunch.  It took over 3 hours so lunch was late! (Not the first time this week - Easter Sunday Lunch was late too because we forgot about putting the clocks forward.....)  It was a bit fiddly to make - had to do 19 small dough balls each filled with prepared onions and grated cheese then arrange them in a honeycomb structure.  However, the end result was pretty good, a pity there was only the 2 of us to share it - served as an accompaniment it would feed 8.  We felt that the onions for the filling would have been more appetising with a little colour - next time I will brown them.

I used fresh yeast from Sainsbury's in-store bakery - as a guide you need twice as much fresh yeast than if you were using a 7g packet of easy blend, say 15g.  Recipe says allow to cool completely - we ate them warm and they were fine.  Bread-making was the perfect thing to do on a very cold and windy Bank Holiday Monday.
