Ready-made sandwich

I didn't set out to make this, but I set the breadmaker off on the wrong program, and was worried about it not having a long enough rising time for the fresh yeast I had decided to use (smells lovely, but more expensive and a lot shorter shelf life than the dried stuff). I don't actually appear to own a bread tin, so decided to make something I used to do occasionally with my mum.

The dough recipe doesn't really matter here, though the quantity was based on 400g flour. I took the dough after its first rise, beat it up a bit, and separated it into two halves, spreading one out onto a lightly floured baking tray (7" x 9" ish). I fried 5 rashers of bacon, and spread this and some slices of cheese out onto the dough, and brushed water onto the dough all around the edge. Take the other half of the dough, and spread it over the top, pressing down on the edges to seal it.

Allow it to rise in a nice warm place for another half an hour or so, brush the top with beaten egg (in my case, a spare yolk from previous escapades, mixed with a little milk to loosen it, either will give the desired nice glazed top) then bake at about 200°C for 15 minutes.

When you take nice wide slices of it, you get lovely instant sandwiches. This can be done with all kinds of ingredients inside.
