Leftover Christmas Party Bread

 So, Thursday afternoon saw the annual Leftover Christmas Party at friends. Part of the fun is a vague idea, but no certainty of what there is going to be to eat. Christmas leftovers, but quite what,and in what form. I made a turkey and ham pie, and also wanted to take some bread (it is sort of expected, after all, and gives me a further excuse to bake).

Inspiration came from a link in the Christmas edition of Bread Magazine e-mail, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9DNfPUsCYm4

Decided to do something similar using a batch of olive oil dough (recipe from Dough by Richard Bertinet). Top section and bottom row filled with confit garlic and tomato jam, grated Beaufort and confit garlic in the rest. All brushed with oil/butter confit mix before and after baking. Slivers of cooking chorizo added as baubles before baking, and more cheese over the cheesy section.

Oven (fan) pre- heated to 240C and turned down to 200 straight away. Turned half way through 25 min bake.

Rosemary and chopped parsley as decorative greenery.

Have to say, I was pleased with the result, and it seemed to go down very well
