Ingredients

25g chilled butter, cubed

500g Asda Strong White Bread Flour, plus extra for kneading

1 sachet Asda Great toBake Easy Bake Yeast

2 level tsp caster sugar

1 level tsp salt

1 egg, beaten, to decorate

Poppyseeds, to decorate

Sesame seeds, to decorate

Black olives, to decorate

Houmous, to serve

Method

1
Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the yeast, sugar and salt.
2
Add 325ml lukewarm water and stir with a spoon to make a soft dough. If it’s too sticky, add a little flour.
3
Knead on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes. Flatten. Knead for 1-2 minutes.
4
Cut three-quarters of the dough in half and make a figure-8 shape for the body. Roll the rest into 8 legs. To attach, brush with water and push in with the handle of a wooden spoon.
5
Cover with lightly greased cling film and leave in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
6
Brush with egg. Sprinkle with the seeds. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7 for 25 minutes, or until the base sounds hollow when tapped. Cool.
7
Slice the top of a body round and scoop out the dough. Fill with houmous. Add olive slices for eyes.
