Method

  • step 1

    Make the bread mixture with the butter following pack instructions. It’s easiest to use a stand mixer but not difficult to do by hand. Leave the dough to rest for 5 mins, then knead for 5 mins.

  • step 2

    Cut the dough into six pieces. Dust the surface with a little flour and shape each piece into a ball by rolling it between your hand. Now make it hedgehog-shaped by pulling one side out a little and squeezing it gently into a snout. Be quite firm or it will bounce back.

  • step 3

    Put the hedgehogs on a baking sheet, cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hr.

  • step 4

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using kitchen scissors (supervise younger children), carefully snip into the dough to make the spikes on the backs of the hedgehogs. Press raisins in for the eyes and push a flaked almond into the end of each snout.

  • step 5

    Bake for 15 mins or until the rolls are risen and golden. Will keep for two days in an airtight container.

question

Can the dough be prepared the day before and left to sit overnight in the fridge?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes you can make the dough, transfer straight to the fridge and leave overnight. Shape and bake (step 2 onwards) the following day. We hope this helps. Best wishes, olive team.

question

Hi. I’m making these tomorrow but I can’t understand the first step! Do I need to follow the instructions on the bread mix (add water) but then add butter aswell? What form do I add this (room temp, melted or cut into chunks)

TIA.

Hi Sophie, I believe you can add the ganj (Make sure you Prebake this) while mixing the dough and room temp should be fine

you can use a bread maker by selecting 'dough only ' or 'basic dough'.

question

Hello, what if we don’t have brown bread mix? Could we substitute in a certain amount of flour, etc.? Or make these as soda bread? Thank you in advance.

Hello, we suggest you replace the bread mix for 500g wholemeal flour, 1 x 7g sachet fast action yeast, 1 tsp caster sugar and 1 tsp fine salt. To this add the melted butter and 300-350ml warm milk. Leave the dough to rise in a lightly oiled bowl, covered with a tea towel for 1 hr before shaping them…

Made these with my 7 year old - really easy and fun. She was very proud of them. She really enjoyed “snipping” the spikes. Most of the eyes fell out during baking unfortunately!
