Method

  1. Make the filling by mixing the chicken, ham, spring onion, cheeses and mustard with some seasoning, stir well to combine, then pop in the fridge until later. You can do this up to a day ahead.
  2. Make the bread mix following pack instructions. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces, shape into balls then roll out on a floured surface into circles measuring 12cm across.
  3. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grease 10 holes of a muffin tin. Put a dough circle into one of the holes, push in lightly, then fill with 2 tbsp of the filling mix. Gather the dough together with your fingers and pinch to create a little parcel that looks a bit like a big flower - don't worry about totally sealing the dough as the filling will bubble through anyway, which makes the parcels look even better. Keep doing this until you have used all the dough and filling mix.
  4. Brush the parcels with beaten egg and cook for 25-30 mins until golden and risen. Enjoy warm in the garden or leave to cool and transport in the tin to a picnic. Serve with a spoonful of your favourite chutney, if you like.

    Yum! A cross between a sandwich and a pie, great idea! I made my own dough and made them a kind of pasty shape so I could fit more filling in!

    Hi Sophie, You could try cheese with courgette, make sure you go for something that wont make your dough too soggy when cooked.

    This is the second time I've made this recipe as it's great either hot or cold. It does, however, take a lot longer to make in my opinion as I bake a ham the day before and then use the leftovers in the recipe. Still, absolutely delicious and great to pack as a sandwich substitute. Well done, Good Food!

    Would whole wheat pizza dough work for this, instead of the bread dough? Same thing, really, no?

    Veggie suggestion: Roquefort with almonds. Or a mild (goat's?) cheese, pesto and pine nuts. Or a tomato sauce with a mild cheese and basil. Any other ideas?

    Veggie suggestion: mozarella, sun dried tomatoes and spinach. Make sure to drain off most of the tomato oil so the dough doesn't go soggy, and add the spinach just a few minutes before the end of the cooking time so it just wilts.
