Directions

  6. Place one ball of dough into each flowerpot and cover with cling film. Leave in a warm place for 1 hr to rise.

  8. When the dough has doubled in size, remove the cling film from the pots and gently brush with a little milk or oil.
  9. Sprinkle with your choice of topping.
  10. Place the pots on a baking tray in the oven and cook for 20-25 mins until risen and golden. The pots will be very hot, so be careful when removing from the oven. Leave to cool for 10 mins before turning out and eating.
