Yarg stuffed Flatbread

strong, white bread flour 500g
salt 10g
instant yeast 10g
unsalted butter 30g
water about 300mls

Put the flour in a large, warm mixing bowl and add the salt and the dried yeast. Add the butter and most of the water, then mix with your hands to bring the mixture together. Gradually add the remaining water until all the flour is mixed in.

Put the dough on a lightly floured board and knead for 5-10 minutes. When the dough feels smooth and silky, place it back in the mixing bowl, cover it with a warm tea towel and leave it in a warm place to rise for at least an hour until the dough has doubled in size. Tip the dough on to a floured surface, fold repeatedly until all the air is knocked out of it, then tear it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Make an indentation into each ball, and push in some crumbled Yarg. Caramelised onions and semi dried tomatoes work well here too.

Put a ball of the stuffed dough on a well- floured work surface and flatten with a rolling pin into a disc or oval about 16cm in diameter. Place on a baking sheet and continue with the others.

Put the baking sheet of flatbreads in a warm place for 10-15 minutes. Warm a heavy-based frying pan over a moderate heat. Rub lightly with a little olive oil, place two or three flatbreads into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. Once they have darkened here and there, turn them over and cook the other side. A little blistering is good. Remove and eat immediately.

50g butter, melted
1 small onion
275ml/10fl oz whole milk
1 bay leaf
3 peppercorns
40g plain flour
150g Yarg
1 tsp English mustard
6 tbsp double cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon of thyme leaves

Preheat oven to 200C/Gas 6. Brush butter into small ramekins, make discs of baking parchment to pop in the bottom, brush butter over the discs. Place on baking tray. Heat  onion, milk, bay leaf and peppercorns gently for 5 minutes and set aside. Stir flour into the remaining melted butter, return to the heat and cook for a minute, stirring. Add strained milk to make a smooth and thick sauce.

Add Yarg and mustard, cook until cheese melts. Stir in thyme and season to taste. Cool for five minutes, then beat in egg yolks one at a time until thoroughly mixed.Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks are formed. Stir dollops into the cheese mixture quite rapidly to slacken the mix, then fold the rest in gently, trying to preserve as much volume as possible while ensuring the white is properly folded in. Spoon the soufflé mixture into the ramekins until it almost reaches the top. Bake in the centre of the oven for 15-20 minutes until very well risen and golden-brown on top.

Remove the tray from the oven and leave the soufflés to cool in their ramekins. When the soufflés are cold, release them from their ramekins with a knife and turn them into your hand. Place them in an ovenproof  dish upside down. Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge until needed. When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Take the cling film off, sprinkle with Yarg, spoon a tablespoon of cream over the top of each souffle.  Bake for 10 minutes until the soufflés are hot and the Yarg topping has melted. Serve immediately.

Go on, you can do it!
