Give morning pastries a bakeover by swapping the sweet for a savoury butternut squash, blue cheese, bacon, onion and beetroot filling

Prep:45 mins

Makes 8

200g block of butter500g bag white bread mix1 egg, beaten, to glazecornichons, to serve

STEP 1Wrap the butter in foil and freeze for 45 mins.STEP 2Tip the bread mix into a bowl and, using the foil to hold it, coarsely grate in the butter ā€“ keep dipping the end in the flour to stop it sticking to the grater too much. Use a cutlery knife to stir together, then add 300ml cold water and stir to a dough.STEP 3Put the squash in a microwave-proof bowl with a little water, cover with cling film, poke one hole in, and microwave on High, at 2-min increments, until just cooked. Drain any liquid.STEP 4Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll out the dough as thinly as you can, to a rectangle with longest side measuring 25cm. Scatter over all the filling ingredients, spreading as evenly as you can, leaving a small gap along one of the longest sides, brush this edge with a little beaten egg. Season, then roll up tightly from the opposite side and pinch to seal. Use a sharp, floured knife to cut roll into 8 slices. Dust a baking sheet with more flour and place slices, cut-side up, with gaps in between. Brush tops with more egg and bake for 15-20 mins until golden and risen. Best eaten warm with cornichons.
