Equipment
- Weighing scales
- Jug
- Bowl
- Non-stick baking tray
Ingredients
- 150 ml warm water
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 2 tsp Easy bake yeast
- 220 g white bread flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 Jar of mincemeat
- Butter and icing sugar for finishing
Instructions
- In a jug mix together the warm water, sugar and yeast and leave somewhere warm for 10 minutes. The mixture will go foamy in the time that it is resting.
- In a bowl add the flour and salt, then add the olive oil and water mix and bring together to form a dough.
- Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and springy. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave somewhere warm for 20 minutes.
- Cut the dough into 16 even pieces. Roll each piece into a thin(ish) disc and place a small teaspoonful of mincemeat in the centre. Gather up the sides of the dough to enclose the mincemeat and twist and pinch to seal the dough ball. Place your mince pie dough ball onto a non stick baking surface (sealed side facing down).
- Once all the mince pie dough balls have been created let them sit for 30 minutes and then bake at 230c for 5 minutes.
- Once baked brush with melted butter and dust with icing sugar. Best enjoyed warm from the oven.
