It might be getting into the chillier months, but if you're the type who fires up the barbecue all year round, this recipe is for you. And if you'd rather stay cosy indoors, it works just as well in the oven. With gooey melted brie, sweet figs and fresh baked bread, it might just be the perfect savoury alternative to sweet s'mores this Bonfire Night.
Ingredients
1 bag of Beer Bread Flour Mix of your choice
30g cold butter, cubed
2 cups of double thick plain yoghurt
250g Brie round
50g dried, cured meat of your choice (we have used biltong, a South African staple)
1 fresh fig, quartered
Syrup from fig preserve
Method
Place the beer bread mix in a bowl and rub in the butter using your fingertips to form a breadcrumb mixture. Gradually add in the yoghurt a drop at a time until a dough forms. Divide the dough into tennis ball size portions and roll into long strips and twist around skewers or sticks.
Place the brie into a heat proof pan and top with fresh figs and biltong (or other dried, cured meat) and then drizzle with the fig syrup.
Place breads on a stick and the brie pan onto a barbecue or into an oven and leave until the cheese has melted.
Serve the bread by dipping it into the melted brie and fig dip.
Serving Suggestion
Serve straight from the barbecue as a sharing starter, alongside your favourite grilled meats and salads, or simply with quality olive oil, fig balsamic and a generous twist of rainbow pepper.
