At the weekend I saw Jamie Oliver on TV making this breakfast on the go bread. I thought it looked lovely, and so simple to make. If Luke, aged 2, can make it then anyone can. Tomorrow we are going out for the day, birthday shopping for Luke, and so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try this out. Now breakfast is made and we can eat it in the car on the way.

Firstly I made some bread dough, with freshly milled flour. My recipe didn't come out as light and fluffy as Jamie Oliver's, but I'm guessing that's due to the heavy wheat flour. It's more nutritious anyway.

I rolled out the dough into a long rectangle, after it had been left to sit for a while. Then placed pieces of parma ham along the length of it.

Then Luke decided to help, and he placed 6 boiled eggs along the length, and some fresh basil, which we picked from our herb garden. It was the last of the basil.
Luke rolled the dough around the eggs, and kept rolling until we had a sort of long sausage shape.

Then we squeezed it into a circle loaf, and tucked one end of dough into the other end of dough, to make a sort of ring.
Here is the ring, after I had rounded it off from Luke's attempt to completely squash it.
We let it sit for 20 minutes, and then baked it for half an hour in the oven.
And here is the final loaf of breakfast bread. We had to try some just to make sure it was edible. It was a big hit, and so simple to make. We'll be making this one again, but next time I will add more white bread flour to my wholemeal flour, to help the bread lighten up a bit.
