How To Make Mum's Bacon and Onion Roll
This Mum's style bacon and onion roll offer a savory bite. The puffy pastry sheet is filled with bacon and onions for a salty & sweet combo.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, add more for dusting
- 1 cup shortening, chilled
- 1 cup ice-cold water, plus more as needed
- 8 oz bacon rashers, chopped
- 3 oz yellow onions, finely chopped
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tsp salt
- cooking spray
To Serve:
- 1½ oz side salad, of your choice
- ¼ tsp parsley, chopped
- ⅓ cup gravy
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray.
-
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
-
Heat up the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the bacon and onions until translucent. Set aside.
-
Add the chilled shortening and 1 cup of water into the sifted flour mixture. Mix until it forms a fairly stiff dough, adding more water as necessary.
-
Dust the working area with flour, then place the pastry on it. Roll the pastry into a rectangular shape roughly 1½-centimeters thick. Trim the pastry as necessary to achieve the rectangular shape.
-
Sprinkle the cooked bacon and onions on top of the pastry, leaving roughly ⅛ of the pastry not filled.
-
Roll the pastry into a cylindrical shape. Finally, tuck or trim the edges. Transfer the roll onto the greased and lined baking sheet. Place the pastry in a chilled area and allow it to rest briefly for roughly 30 minutes.
-
While waiting, preheat the oven to 360 degrees F.
-
When ready, brush the top and around the pastry with milk, then bake for roughly 1 hour or until the crust is golden brown.
-
Set aside briefly onto cooling racks once baked, and allow to cool briefly before serving.
-
Slice the portions accordingly and serve with a side salad of your choice and gravy.
Recipe Notes
- Don't have shortening? You can also use the oil from the cooked bacon, just top up with shortening until it reaches 1 cup.
- Our side salad was composed of spinach, red onions, pears, dried cranberries, roasted walnuts, and balsamic vinaigrette.
