No-knead bread
This easy Italian-inspired no-knead bread is designed to fit into the working week - enjoy as a simple snack dipped into balsamic vinegar and olive oil
In a microwaveable bowl, toss together the garlic and onion in the oil with a small pinch of salt. Add the bacon and microwave on High for 30-40 secs to soften the onion and garlic, and gently crisp the bacon. Tip in the carrot, herbs, baked beans and tomato purée, along with 1 tbsp water. Crumble over the stock cube and stir well.
Cover with cling film and pierce in the centre. Microwave on High for 2 and a half mins to heat through, then remove and stir well. Leave to stand for 1 min before serving.
